This doesn't seem right?

Fox 2.5 coilover lift, are my UCAs supposed to be angled that far down?

 

When you lift the truck up, the UCAs drop down to provide the lift. Do your UCA's contact the coilover? I'm pretty sure I've read that with Fox 2.5s new UCAs are strongly recommended for clearance (and proper alignment).

 

Isn't this why guys put in different UCA's like the icon ones?

 

I plan on doing total chaos UCAs but still seems like they should sit level, based on what I've seen on other tacos. No they don't make contact at any point right now but if I want to go up further they will hit. I saw one truck that looked like it had an extension off the UCA ball to bring the front up, however have not found any info on that sort of thing

 

They can't sit level because the knuckle drops with the longer/stiffer coilover in there. Aftermarket UCAS will also put the upper ball joints (or uniball) at a better angle so they aren't maxed out at full droop.

 

Thats alot of preload. How high did you lift the truck>?

 

With 265 s my ride hight is 37 1/2" to center fender. I believe I went up 2.5"

 

need the mesurement from the center of the hub to fender. Stock is 20 in the front 21 in the back

 

Thats a lot of lift, these companies recommend you swap to an aftermarket upper control arm to help with the issue you have, the stock ball joint is not designed for that angle.

 

Ok I am 24 in the front

 

you at least an inch to high. I wouldnt recommend more than 2.75 inches of lift with stock ucas

 

You have more lift than I do and I am not running stuck uppers. you have very little down travel now too.

 

So probably be best to come back down a bit until I get new UCAs?

 

You mean back to near stock height? yes.

 

If you are a 4x4 you cant go over 3 inches of lift or your CVs will break every month

 

Also coilovers arnt really designed to give you more than 3 inches of lift. and the more you preload the less up travel and a harsher ride

 

Yeah makes sense, I was worried about that, I think ill go down 2 inches, then set it at 3 once control arms come in

 

This is my setup at 2.25 inch of lift. an old pic but lift is the same

 

Nice, yeah thanks guys wanted to double check before I start breaking shit
