Is this a good choice for a lift kit?

i bought this lift for my 13 reg cab. how much lift will i get with the billies set at 0? looking for close to a 3 inch lift so i can fit 255 or 285 tires. i have a shell so i got the AAL as well.

 

Goes on Tuesday the 20th! Can't wait!

 

I've been stealing enough threads, I chose to create my own to get some specific feedback on my lift install

 

My lift is installed!

Not without major alignment issues of course...

I brought my truck to Express Oil Change/Tire Engineers for the post-lift alignment. After fooling with it for 2.5 hours they told me it could not be aligned to be within spec for caster.

I asked what the numbers were, to which they told me "really bad, RS 2.5deg, LS -0.5deg". Not only that, but they told me it was going to be $99.99 since it took so long (normally ~$60). They refused to print off the numbers ("we don't do print offs when they're out of spec") for me so I'm not sure what my truck is even at. Visibly looking at the truck from the front, the RS front wheel looks to have extremely positive camber, but they claim camber is in spec. When driving the truck pulls left violently, and if you take your hand off the wheel, the steering wheel "home" bias is about 9 o'clock. So in conclusion, I paid way too much for who knows what at this point, likely nothing.

Now before the UCA advocates say I told you so, I understand UCA's would have made achieving ideal caster (2.4deg) more likely, but 2.5deg cross caster range is unacceptable. They should have been able to achieve in spec camber, toe, and a caster of around 1.5deg both sides. My result is purely a result from technician lack of caring/knowledge. Not only this, but my new truck smelled like cigarettes upon return, and grease smudges all over steering wheel/door panel/kick plates/etc. I'll be calling AMEX to dispute this charge for sure.

So, my plan is to go ahead and order Light Racing UCA's from Fat Bob's, expedited shipping, and put them in the moment they arrive, and take it to Toyota for an alignment. In the meantime I'm worried to drive my truck at all until they get here, but would hate to pay the money to align three times in one week.

Anyway, here are a few (poor) pictures of the lift result:
