 Hey guys a quick video on how to install helper springs or Bags depends how you look at it. They're bags But they're called springs Anna, this is an old seven Toyota forerunner v8 obviously you want those springs to raise the s of your Forerunner because it, you know, if you're towing a heavy thing like a car for example, which I will be The car that the Toyota seems to sag a bit too much It's not an issue going straight on the highway But it is an issue getting up my driveway and and off of it because it the Hitch the lower part of the hitch scrapes and It's not good. I guess right basically I get stuck. So I had to do something about it So this is not a step-by-step Installation how to it's so simple Throw out the instructions basically because you don't need to take anything apart. So this is it coil springs It's support for your coil springs Okay, so it's it's really its bags. This is how it looks more or less Let's see instructions Okay, these are the bump stops that I had to cut out Which I did in frame and okay, so this is what comes with it I also did order an extra T connector. So I did not have to use this guy here So, you know when I inflate them they're they inflate both at the same time Okay, so you get four washers two of these guys and an extra T. I think it was like ten fifteen dollars. I paid hundred hundred five hundred and ten dollars for the whole thing. Okay, anyways, this is These are the bump stops. You're gonna see Later on what I mean. So This is what you have to you have to cut out four stacks of the bump stops, you know one on each side, obviously, so What I've done was because this part you cannot if I To cut it in half because the whole thing would not fit through the spring Okay, so I cut the whole thing right here using a long Sharp now. It's got to be sharp. The knife has to be sharp and Then once this was cut. I turned it kind of sideways shoved half of it through the spring it got stuck so I cut this and it just went through no issues So basically this is what you're cutting the four stacks, okay? You want to make sure that the upper part of the bump is cut? You know straight no bumps on it on and whatnot just Make sure you're you're doing that one clean cut you can use I used Windex, but you can use water with soap just to make your job easier So the blade does not catch on the rubber. Okay, and this is basically how it looks right now Okay, I'm gonna fish a line. There's a hole through the The rubber bump stop and through a like this metal Cap on top and that's that's basically it. Okay, these are the instructions The rest is just other languages So here they tell you on the first page To remove this the sway bar links the lower bolts of the shocks The whatever this bar is called None of it Let's go look at it. Have you see you want to raise it all the way up? Well, as you know as far as you can and Here they are You can see this is the cut bump stop I still didn't lower the vehicle because I'm waiting for some paint to dry But this is it now because this Airbag moves you can look at those this line over here See that move as I'm gonna, you know do oil changes and whatnot I'm gonna obviously raise the vehicle So I don't know if this bag is gonna stay up when I raise it or it's gonna move but there's they do provide these Sleeves can here you can see this guy make sure you use that sleeve So it kind of sticks out actually mine I think mine just Came out out of the hole. I'm gonna fish it through so it shows a little bit Over here. I'm probably gonna maybe try and glue it or something. I don't know Yeah, it is out. Anyways, let's look at the other side. The right side is a bit more. Well, there's less room in here Okay, so you get the idea. Okay So what I'm gonna actually do I'm gonna fish the sleeve actually came out to yeah did okay Well, never mind. I'm gonna just leave them once I push the sleeve back through. I'm gonna leave it up Okay, so you can see I ran it Above this heat shield here from the away from the exhaust. It's kind of loose. There is a zip tie here Okay, and this is how it looks. I still got to cut these Tails off the zip ties, but this is the T connector and it goes here Okay, and that's gonna go right through Here I'm waiting for this paint to dry This guy here and that's just gonna go through the other side. So that's where my inflator, nozzle, valve, whatever it is going to be and this is the rest of the stuff So how did I put them in there? Easy. I took the airbag, okay squashed it Held my thumb on the hole. So now it's kind of vacuumed. Okay and I just after I ran the line through and Obviously cut the bump stop. That's when I did it. So once once the bag is in, you know kind of Bottom first and then shove in holding your thumb on it Shoving the top part of the bag in just squeezing it through. Okay common sense But you got to do the lines and the bump stops cut the bump stops first and then now that go of your of the you know Pull your thumb away, and it's just gonna inflate on its own and Voila, no parts removed at all. Easy Really, I didn't remove the spare. All right once that's dry. I'm gonna We're gonna see how it works. I forgot to show you how the Driver's line is ramp. So both lines just go through and up all the way here Above right, you know as close to the floor as possible zip tied wherever you can I've zip tied mine as make sure that both of the lines are somewhat Equal in length. Okay, and then you can run the tee You know meet the meet the two in the middle round the one Whatever you want. I was actually thinking, you know, you can do put a hole here here anywhere really zip tied to the hitch whatever I was actually thinking of Putting it right here. There's actually room right behind this you could drill a hole Here somewhere Have it stick out. Maybe put some washers behind it. So it doesn't stick as far out as as it would but there is room Right over here kind of a neat spot hidden away from the weather. Okay. This is what we got right now As you can see that's pretty low. I know the trailer is not ideal. It is level. It's just dipped on the left side Let's see What happens if I put some pressure in the bags? Let's say 20 PS. I 30 PS I 30 PS I About half an inch. Okay, so I guess it's I'm not set up. Ideally, you know, obviously I gotta Pull out the trailer and make it level and whatnot. I do have The weight distribution kit I do need to remove This box Move these back a little probably four inches because right now they're too close that's gonna also raise that up a little bit and I'm gonna raise the box So I can actually weld weld something over here so it's gonna sit higher so these things you move back So yeah, you do need this stuff guys to be able to haul cars with a Forerunner right now this setup with the car is about 5300 Pounds more or less. I feel like I should grind this Down just a bit get another Entry of clearance, you know, like I said before going straight is not an issue Just going over high dips getting up driveways and stuff like that. Okay guys. Thanks for watching See you soon
