2004 Toyota Tundra Lowering Kit - Taking On A '04 Toyota Tundra

The mount bracket holding the brake line and ABS wire (located on the right side of the axle) was severed using an air chisel in order to make room for the new rear axle perches. Don't worry, both lines secure to the back of the new perch assembly.

The parking brake cable pivot bracket (near the left side of the axle) also needed to be removed and replaced with the extension bracket provided in Tundra's Racing kit. The new extension bracket provides necessary clearance between the cable and shock.

Both leaf springs were sandwiched between the new axle perches, U-bolts, and the lower U-bolt plates.

Exhausted already? You will be in about 45 minutes, which is about how long it took Adolfo to install a new Gibson dual-split side exhaust system.

The clamp at the stock exhaust pipe was loosened and removed, but Adolfo was careful not to damage the clamp as it was reused to secure the new Gibson pipe.

A few tack welds were suggested to keep every pipe in place.

After a quick break with a cold beverage, the hood was popped and it was time to replace the restrictive stock intake tube and airbox with Injen's PF2019 air intake.

Buh-bye restrictive airbox ...
