    Does it seem like a good deal.

    *Bilstein 5100 RHA front shocks set at 2.5" lift $260.00 pair*(the Tacoma's just don't have enough down travel when they are lifted 3")
    *Camburg Balljoint Upper Control Arms w new balljoints $560.00 pair (not required but quite often the Tacoma's don't have enough caster when lifted 2.5" these arms will give you the correct caster)
    *Bilstein 5100 rear shocks $220.00 pair
    *Icon Rear Progressive 3 Lead Add A Pack 1.5" lift $250.00 pair (replaces the stock lower overload spring with 3 new leafs lifts the truck 1.5" in the rear and makes the spring much more progressive giving a much better ride while also supporting the longer existing springs better making the spring pack last longer) This also combats axle wrap witch the Tacoma's have problems with if a lift block of more than 1" is used.
    *
    * Total price installed is $1590.00 plus tax and alignment. All parts currently in stock.

    You might want to look into stainless uniballs for the UCA's

    Do you intend to offroad a lot or are the UCA's just to correct the alignment ?

    why not just buy the parts yourself and have some fellows help you install? really isnt that hard to do and itll save you lots of money.

    I would actually love to do it myself but really don't know how to go about doing it. The uca is to correct the alignment.

    I decided in my own case to go with the Light Racing UCA's because I wanted a sealed balljoint for our winter conditions

    If your only reason for buying new UCA's is to correct alignment, I would suggest installing the lift first and seeing how your alignment comes out, and then buy UCA's if they really are necessary after all. Why spend hundreds on a part you don't know you need?

    OP, it doesn't really sound like money may be much of a concern, but if you are interested in saving yourself several hundred dollars in parts and don't mind waiting a couple months, I live in Seattle and will be heading to Whistler in December if you want to have parts delivered to me and then meet me in Vancouver or something. I know Vancouver is a bit of a drive from Kamloops but maybe it's worth it? I have no idea how much the other parts cost in the US, but you'd save $200 on the 5100's alone.

    Personally I would just do the UCA's at the same time as the lift because you will almost certainly need them at 2 1/2" up front and if you are paying for an install twice and alignment twice your savings will evaporate pretty quickly

    x2. unless you're just getting a lifetime alignment from some shop. the install isn't as intimidating as it seems. just gotta find some people that know what they are doing and have the tools.

    i also have light racing UCAs. work well and havent had any alignment issues.

    True, I just tend to ignore the fact that so many people buy one time alignments to save a few bucks. It has always been a no brainer for me to pay the $120 for lifetime alignments on my vehicles instead of $80 for one.

    Mines set at 2.5" and driver side spacer, no UCA. Caster is below 2 degrees, but it drives fine, no wandering. I don't see spending over $500 for a 2.5-3" lift

    If I got coil overs, I'd get the UCA.
