    Like others with the Ome lifts have stated my ride is more stiff then it was with stock suspension with 105,000 miles on it but it's more stiff in a good way. When I shift my hole truck doesn't dip same with breaking. My ride has greatly improved.

    Alright, I've had my ome lift now for about 2 weeks on my DCSB and just got new tires last weekend, 255/80/17 Cooper Discoverer MAXX, Load Rating E.

    I might not have noticed it until I got my new tires but I have a significant problem with bump steer. Now, my old tires were OLD. Rubber was hard and worn.

    What could cause this? What do I need to fix?

    90000 shocks, 885 coils, top plate spacer
    Dakars in the back

    I have similar problem, curious about it. I suspect it's my stock UCAs, are you running stock UCAs?

    Correct. Mind explaining why you think it's the UCAs?
    I know that the alignment was not in the green on the Casters. Would that have to do with it?

    I've just read on here that the alignment won't be perfect with a lift unless you get UCAs. Toyota did mine and said they had no problem with the alignment, but I can feel that it isn't as good as it was before the lift. I'm no expert on it at all, maybe somebody else can chime in........

    I'm thinking that new UCA's will help with that not 100% sure but I've been told you need them to help with stuff like that.

    Yes sir
    Hmmm, I'd try and get that number sheet from them if they still have it. They could've aligned your truck to OEM specs which aren't exactly what you want for a ~3" lift. Did you ask for specific numbers? Because if you didn't, again they probably aligned it to OEM specs and technically your truck is aligned correctly, but since your truck is lifted, your geometry isn't the same as it was before the lift and therefor you want different degrees of caster, camber, and toe so that your truck is aligned properly for it's current geometry. If that makes sense? :D

    Yeah that makes sense, I just didn't think it was possible to get it where it needs to be without aftermarket UCAs...but maybe it is? The alignment really isn't bad at all, I've just noticed some mild tracking issues and a bit of steering wheel shake. Do you think UCAs would fix this or should I go somewhere else to have it aligned? Keep in mind the front is lifted right around 3 inches...

    I would probably get aftermarket UCA's just so your CV angles aren't so bad (I'm assuming they're being strained more than they should even though your alignment seems good). But maybe someone will chime in here as well. Maybe take a picture of you CV's?
