My 2021 rear is currently sitting on jacks. I’m installing the ICON 2.5 shocks with icons add a leaf. Since the leaf springs are so bulky and there is substantial droop from the OEM I had to order longer soft break lines that run from the axle to the bracket up top.
Unless you are going to be towing or carrying heavy loads, I ALWAYS remove that flat bottom overload leaf....This is the leaf that kicks the rear up, if you are running at speed it matters. Good video guys, thanks!
Yes, I suggested the same but the owner wants to keep it in there because he does use the truck as a truck and does some heavy loads. Thanks for brining that up in the comments so others could read about their options.
@@SnailTrail4x4 If the flat overload leafs are removed, will this enable the droop to prevent tension on the upper shock mount; preventing us from having to get limiting straps?
First thx for the vid, I just bought my 1st Tundra and want to beef up the rear suspension. So I have a question/concen where the spring pin was off by an inch @ 13:30 it seems excessive and I'm wondering if the springs were reversed front to rear?
You can check... Lift your truck by the frame or hitch receiver until the rear tires (both) come off the ground. So now your trucks at full droop. Make sure the truck is safe and crawl under and see if those lines are being stretched.

Thanks for this information.

Thoughts on the suspension upgrade? Worth the money? If you did it again would you choose Icon or go with something else?
Icon doesn't make extended travel shocks to allow for the extra droop with aftermarket leafs?
Great videos man. Keep the new parts and content coming
Thanks a lot! I am planning on continuing to grow. Thanks for the comment.
nice video. what's the payload of the new leaf springs?
This is a great informational video. I wish I saw this before I did my tundra leafs. Would have been so much easier.
You should put blue lock tight on those driveline bolts a lot of vibration comes from that point
I have a 2007 tundra i want to uograde the leaf springs and front and rear shock to have stronger for towing my 7k lbs trailer what do you recomend
Awesome video very detail I have the same truck ,color ,and year. I want to get those same reservoir as what you installed. How much are those?
Not cheap, you can contact Icon for details
SnailTrail4x4 I just the price 🤔 thanks snail trail4x4
Did you ever end up adding limiting straps?
Nope, but it still needs it 🤦🏽♂️

Good, where you buy the new spring and shock?
What is the model # of those EMU leaf springs ?
Did you end up putting limiting straps on this? I have the same issue at full droop and had to jack it up to get the top nut on.
Yes, we did. If you want to save your shocks you should put limiting straps on.
Where did you get that floor jack in this video? That is exactly what I need.
It's a Pro-Eagle 3 ton Jack.
Are the rears supposed to be able to move a little side to side? I torqued mine down but they still are able to move side to side
No, there shouldn't be any movement. You need to put a spacer/washer in there to fill that gap.
This is not something I would be wanting to DIY it, but would want to have it done. What kind of price would it cost?
Im not sure, I'm not a shop I'm just a hobbiest, you can call around to your local 4x4 Fab shops and get quotes. I'd be curious to know their answers.
Toyota dealertacks on $10,000 for 6 inch lift, rims and tires... seems way out of line. I have a few yelp quote requests out.
What's the spacer in the brake lines for? Do I need if i am lifting my rears approx 1.5"? Also where can I get them if so?

Good job 👍
Thanks, and thanks for the comment
Great job! Subbed!
Wonderful, thanks for taking the time out of your day to comment
Get your shocks off; so you can get your rocks off, with your new shocks on! 👍
Haha, nice one
Si puedo importar el kit a chile por mercado libre cuanto me sale tengo una toyota tundra año 2011
You install rear shock wrong way.
You need turn resv back way. Not front way.
Why is that
No need for limiting straps in the rear.
Toyota is garbage compared to Ford. A Ford has plenty of room to work on the suspension.
What Ford are you working on?
Another person who couldn't afford the truck they really wanted, a Tundra, lol...
@@dallasfortworthfoundationr8215 what truck is that? A Raptor?
@@SnailTrail4x4 Raptor gets a pass...
That's because you need to work on Ford's all the time.
