    Gotcha. Still, if you're pretty close to 3" i don't see the specs not being able to get aligned. 6" lift or so, of course.

    that's the tough part about lifting over 2.5 inches... it becomes a grey area as to whether or not UCA's are needed. one thing is for certain, if your alignment doesn't bring it back into stock spec (which many have posted here over the past few years) you're a candidate for UCA's.
    about the biggest disservice a person can do for their truck is make decisions based on their wallet not being big enough to make them feel like the issue merited the proper fix.

    I'm running 265/70/17. The kit came with the diff drop spacers. I went ahead and put them on. I figured it wouldn't hurt and should help the angle of the front drive shafts. Anyone else use them?

    Your going to have a hard time getting a proper caster number at anything over 2in of lift.... hell my 1.75in of lift and im on the lower end of spec... i wish i was closer to 2.5* but im down around 1.5... no way your getting anything close to spec at 3...

    AND at that lift height the upper ball joint is almost at max angle... you will have no droop.

    2" front spacers,1" add a leaf and 1 1/4 rear blocks.
    Just a quick question. Did you replace the rear shocks. If you did , what ones did you replace them with. Thanks

    Yes my Toytec kit came with Bilstein rear shocks with the add a leaf. So far it seems to ride pretty close to stock, maybe a little harder but not by much at all. Im overall pleased. At first I was getting a very faint groaning sound but since it's settled the groaning has disappeared.

    ToyTec 3" w/ Bilstein 5100's
    Sub'd for OP alignment & lift results...

    AND taking predictions on my lift & alignment results as I'm installing it Saturday morning

    Front: ToyTec/Eibach 521600 2.5" coil, 1/2" top plate spacer, Bilstein 5100 set to 0.0
    Rear: ToyTec/Deaver 1.5"/2.0" AAL, OEM Bilstein HD shocks
    Stock UCA's, no diff drop, no axle shims or carrier bearing drop
    (2015 DCSB 4x4 TRD OR, BFG AT KO2 265/75/16)

    My debate is weather or not to ditch the 1/2" spacer, if that helps me get closer to 2 degrees in caster

    However I don't want to end up with a factory looking rake, as I've seen mixed reviews of whether or not I'll get 2.5" out of that coil...

    Yeah but do we have the same coils? I know there are two different versions of the ToyTec/Eibach coil (one is 1.5", other is 2.5"). I've got the 2.5".
