    X2 haha... But seriously this is not an uncommon problem and really all you can do is beat it into submission try some heat and get something that you can use as a punch (think I remember using a socket extension in the past) and beat the living hell out of it from the front forcing it out the backside, then buy new sleeves those ones are probably already shot.

    Ok I'll try heat! Idk where to get the new sleeve dammit! That diagram doesn't show a part number for a sleeve. Do I really have to give Toyota $70 for a whole new bushing??

    This is how I "solid mounted". Tabs came from LSK. Picked up my own hardware and said goodbye to those shitty sleeved cams. You need a heimed upper arm to do your alignments. Was a pain the first time but worth it now.

    That looks so good! I'm solid mounting very soon. Going move the lower to the point where I get the most caster out of it, then compensate with the upper for camber. How did you align it?

    Very nice. The other side came out with a little bashing. I might be able to get the other side out, not sure I want to try to figure out how to solid mount it just yet... Kinda wanna be done this weekend

    If you're thinking of solid mounting in the future, see if you can send your UCA's back and upgrade before you install them.

    Center them so your heims arnt sticking way out of the upper. I eyeballed my camber and used a degree finder for caster. Had a shop set the toe they said everything was dead nuts

    I'm converting my uppers to heims. Maybe I can leave material to compensate for the amount of turns I would have to move the heims to get the right camber? Trying to add caster to try and move the tires away from the firewall and fit 35s. Should of gone with a different kit that moves the wheelbase fwd but too late.

    You'll gain about a half inch of inner fender clearance if you push them all the way out. Just do cab mount chop no bigee

    That half inch might just be what I need once I jump to 35s. It has self cleared right now for 33s with an occasional rub. I had it aligned a while back with the most caster out of it while keep a degree of camber and it doesn't touch the cab mount (still trimming it asap).
