I bought a 2&#8243; lift kit from ToyTec when they were having a black Friday sale, with the goal of gaining enough clearance to fit 33&#8243; tires. The lift consists of the leaf for the rear suspension and a 1.5&#8243; ball joint spacer for the front. The remaining .5&#8243; up front is supposed to come from torsion bar adjustment. Though I&#8217;m expecting the camper to compress the rear suspension some, so I&#8217;ll leave it at 1.5&#8243; and only adjust the front if it ends up uneven.<\/p>\n<p>I put together a short youtube video of the installation:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/60eil8yCxu8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s not shown is the driver side install. I had intended to replace the leaf spring bushings while I had it apart, but the new bushings turned out to be the wrong size. Which was unfortunate since I spent nearly an hour prying the front leaf spring pin from the old bushing. <\/p>\n<p>The lift came out to nearly exactly 2&#8243; in back. It&#8217;s riding comically high in the rear now since I ran out of time to install the front lift. I&#8217;ll show that install in a future update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend I finally got around to installing add-a-leafs in the back of the T100.
