Tuff Country 52070 - Toyota Tundra 07-13 2 leveling kit - Manual (Page 5)

Special Note: A strut compressor is going to be
needed to perform this installation. Tuff Country EZ-
Ride Suspension recommends a wall mounted strut
compressor be used when performing the steps that
talk about installing the strut spacer into the strut. If
you do not have a wall mounted strut compressor,
please have these steps performed by your local
Toyota Dealership.
16. Using a wall mounted strut compressor, carefully com-
press the driver side strut until the strut bracket can be
removed. Remove the nut and hardware from the top of the
strut assembly and save the hardware for later re-installa-
tion. Set the upper strut bracket aside for later re-installa-
tion. The rubber isolator may be discarded.
17. Locate (1) new upper strut spacer. Also, locate the
hardware and upper strut bracket. Install the new upper
strut spacer between the strut and the upper strut bracket.
Secure using the OE hardware. Refer back to the meas-
urements that were made earlier and tighten the nut until
the measurement is the same as the measurement from
step # 14. Special note: Also, make sure that the upper
strut bracket with the out arrow is facing the reference
mark that was made on the bottom of the stock strut.
ALSO, THIS STRUT SPACER IS USED IN THE LIFT KIT
FOR THE 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA. THAT IS WHY
THERE IS (3) CUT OUTS IN THE STRUT SPACER.
WHEN INSTALLING THE STRUT SPACER FOR THE
2007 TOYOTA, JUST MAKE SURE THAT THE HEAD OF
THE (4) STOCK BOLTS SEAT FLUSH WITH THE SPAC-
ER AND DO NOT SIT ON ANY OF THE CUT OUTS.
Remove the modified driver side stock strut from the strut
compressor and set aside for further instructions
18. Locate (4) S10090 sleeves from hardware bag
52070NB. Locate the (4) upper OE. Also, locate the newly
modified strut. Working on the driver side, install the modi-
fied strut into the upper location and secure using the OE
nuts. Do not tighten at this point. Special note: Make
sure that the out arrow is facing towards the outside of
the vehicle.
