    3inch supreme suspensions kit
    Hey everyone, I recently put supreme suspensions, leveling kit on my 2012 Toyota Tacoma. After installation I've noticed a slight vibration on the front at speeds around 35 mph. My kit was a 3" raise in the front, and a 2"raise in the rear. Can anyone tell my how I can fix this. I know it's to do with the angles of the diff, but how do I fix it?

    Did you instal the front dif drop spacers? I believe it's at 1" or 1 1/2" with longer bolts and you got an alignment?

    Yes I applied the diff spacers, I believe they were about 1" thick, but I still get a slight vibration, thank you gearcruncher, I'll watch the video, also, do you guys know if this is a serious problem?

    It's completely normal after a lift. I would also advice you to get new UCA's, and be careful with diff drops, there's a 2nd gen thread on here to where it cracked the guy's front axle.

    Ok what are UCAs? So if it's normal it nothing I really have to worry about? Like my truck isn't going to break down on me because of it?

    Upper control arms. Those are the arms right on top of the coils. They are expensive but your alignment will be better as well as saving your front suspension components. And yes your truck won't break down on you as long as you change out your UCA's in a few years/months you will be good.

    Get fully adjustable UCA's first off so you aren't stuck with a 4 position pos that you would be changin out later cause you can put them wherever you want to get a perfect alignment!
