ok, what's the list of tools that i'll need to install my lift? i've got jack, jack stands, t-bar tool, air tools, grinder, pitman/tie rod/ball joint pullers, anything else? any weird sized sockets or anything?

I'm guessing a torque wrench wouldn't hurt

 

[Nicholas]

Yeah, torque wrench and breaker bar will help out.

 

[Whifflebat]

few cans of panther piss (aka penetrating oil aka wd-40) might be good too, depending on the age of your truck.

 

[slimm44]

oh yeah, got that stuff too, just didn't think about them when i posted.

 

[Blue02]

patience and lots of it. Jk

 

[Derek]

might i suggest some mechanics gloves, they saved me tons of cuts and bloody knuckles

 

[SDSUmudman]

if you have access to air tools then those will help a lot. Also a couple of extra hands every now and then will make some things a lot easier

 

[Dark Eternal]

pry bar, hammer, bigger hammer, misc typical shop tools (sockets, wrenches, vice grips) you can never have too many tools!

 

[Layne]

Would using an air chisle save some time when removing your old hardware? Im slowly collecting parts and tools..

 

[Dark Eternal]

umm, maybe, not a whole lot though. Those are more for rivits and crap.

my fav investment- box of latex gloves! that way ur hands stay clean, because when u work with all that grease and stuff, your nails stay dirty for weeks. get some locktite, and a friend to help hold the heavy stuff up while u bolt it in.

whats an incestment you sick freak

 

[Dark Eternal]

yeah isnt that like what you would do with your sister :van:

 

[slimm44]

oh forgot to add i'm doing the balljoints too, anything else for those?

 

[Derek]

at autozone the have the loan-a-tool program
they have a ball joint tool, it basically i big c-clamp with some attachment to help you press out old joints and in new ones
your truck being a 99 you might get this to work, i couldnt get it to work on mine, too many bad winters have lead to alot of rust, and i have to have mine pressed out and in at a shop
