agreed. Plan ahead, plan for stuff breaking, plan a way out of the hole you drove into.

 

I've been distracted over the past few weeks but am on the ball again. Main question now is on the install ... can I do it myself? I'm handy but have never worked on suspension before. Do I need special tools? I've heard yotas are hard to work with when it comes to suspension.

 

Its not too bad, about 6 hours with a buddy.
you'll need a floor jack, jack stands, socket and wrench set, and maybe a hacksaw or something. (The rear shocks are notorious for getting seized)

which package did you choose?

 

Edit: double post, sorry.



But I did just remember, you will also need a heavy duty spring compressor and a torque wrench. Autozone rents those.
