    Thanks! I like because they arent actually black so they dont blend in quite as much.

    I like the height, I think I need to trim a little as occasionally I get some rubbing. It also appears to be pulling to the left. I had them redo the alignment and they said it on. They mentioned maybe might be the tires. I dunno, but need to get it corrected!

    The pulling can get annoying quick.
    If the alignment is off this will chew through your tires and put unessasry strain on other front end parts. It's reasons like this I'm weary of doing this.

    Is there any suggestions for Metatrox??

    still running stock UCA's. LR UCA's may help with your alignment issues.

    Yeah it's already annoying, plus I have a trip this weekend. The guy says it's aligned though. I've read you can try swapping tires and make sure its not them.

    Yeah still stock UCA's. I find it ridiculous that I would have to buy $400 UCA for a simple lift.

    Yeah sorry bro, but when you lift your truck you are probably changing more than the toyota engineers planned on doing with the truck. In essence you have changed their shit and they are not happy with it...lol. It's a lot of coin to put out and there is no guarantee that it will fix your problem so it really sux. However, I have them and can get my alignment within specs. I have had the same set of Nitto's for 40k and counting and they still look good. I would say 50% tread or more left. From the research I've done on LR UCA's they have helped a ton of people..Just my observations good luck and you truck does look kick ass bro. Nice job!!

    The idea of a lift is so great but honestly been hearing these stories and finding the perfect wheels to fit correctly. It's a real pain in the ass and makes me think stock is freakin great!

    I guess i'm used to Jeeps. I've lifted several of them and havent had this kind of issue. I guess I need to try some alternatives that are cheaper. Like rotating tires and such. Then maybe go for the UCA's.

    LOL it's hard. Cant deny it looks so much better. but I know the feeling on second guessing if its worth the trouble.

    Yeah it's an awesome thing to do. Just disappointed that I would have to spend another $450 for a "chance of fixing it". It's worth it if it does though.

    Exactly. The truck has a great ride stock and I'm willing to sacrifice a little for a better look. But something that pulls this bad is not good.
