Total Chaos is the UCA's I run.

Of all the UCA's I have looked into, these are the best. They also correct your caster after a lift. They run about $620.00 for the pair, so they are not cheap.

They have more caster angle built into them. They also allow a little more travel in your suspension. And they are MUCH stronger than the OEM ball joint that they replace.

cool just looked at them they r nice. i guess i will find out if i need them soon. all my friend say the tires will clear with no worries but i am stresed. new taco and the frist time ever lifted anything. i have called every 4x4 place and every one say something differnt. i got 800$ worth of tires i dont want to have to send back and run the 265/75/16 i dont think the rest of the work would b worth it lol

You ar going to rub a little bit. Dont worry about it. The places you are going to rub ar mainly plastic ( with the exception of the UCA ). I have some rubbing, but Im just waiting for the tires to rub thru it. Oh, what wheels are your getting for the tires?

Ok, now your not gonna like me, 285's on a stock wheel WILL rub the UCA. Im not sure you will be able to mount them. You will need new UCA's or wheels with a different back space. Wheel spacers may work also, but I dont know much about them, but they would be a much cheaper alternative until you get the $$$$ for UCA's or new wheels.
