What you need to know about lifting a 2016 Tacoma - Presented by Toytec Lifts

Looks like they didn't even tried correction your caster, I belive with that lift stock uca can be adjusted to 1.5-1.8 degree. I would go back and ask them to max your castor.
Took this from another member on toytec 3" lift stock ucas

 

Ok I will ask them to see if that's available

 

What would this adjustment help with?

 

Have you driven on highway yet? After this alignment? After about 60mph it gets scary, you steering wheel is very sensitive, truck feels twitchy/sqierrely

 

60 and over feels good its basically from 10-40mph feels a little poppy in the steering if that makes sense

 

Not really...lol. I didn't go past 60 as I didn't feel safe. But what I know is when I put in aftermarket ucas and at that time I had little over 2" I belive my caster was over 3 degree, track drove like tank, it just wanted to so straight if that makes sense. After I bump my suspension another 1" it drives perfect, still no alignment, maybe tomorrow.

 

Question. Do the 3rd gens still require/sometimes require a carrier bearing drop or has there been a design change.

Question 2. Is zero pointcalibration procedure the same for 3rd gens as 2nd gens? Thanks.

 

Less than 900 miles on my Tacoma and I'm getting a nice vibe. I have already had both needle bearings replaced. Toyota is saying they are pretty much done with it. Any suggestions?

 

Confirming part # for 2nd Gen 5100s will fit Terd Gens below. Found deal for 175.00 ea CAD shipped.

Part no 24 239 370 is correct?

 

Same part number I ordered from Essex Distributors. 174 each free shipping. Rears were 126 each free shipping.

 

Did the lift cause this to fail?

 

That is what Toyota is claiming. I'm running Bilstein 5100s. They replaced both needle bearings. Maybe it's time to go with another manufacturer?

 

Thanks. Yeah pretty decent deal considering the current exchange rate and free shipping. Got my 5100 and 5160s for my Gen2 from them.
Gonna order some soon.

Want to do the front install myself this time around to save some $. Yota charged me 1.5 hours last time which I thought was fair but Im feeling especially scroogey this year.

 

Update... Had to wait awhile for the front differential, guess they are being made currently ,is there a different needle bearing, maybe....
I hade to wait for my dealer and corporate, and then the new differential being made. Installed and vibe free, at no cost to me, so far so good!

 

Mtnbrook....What kind of vehicle did you have your vibe issue on? Also what did your dealer install or change to get rid of your vibe issue? Also how long have you been vibe free? Thanks

 

My 5100 front and rear shocks are on there way along with a toytec 1inch rear spacer. I was going to do a 1.75 front 1 inch rear but now thinking 2.5 front 1 inch rear. Am i going to be able to use the stock upper control arms at this setting to get proper alignment ?? Should i do a diff drop on this unit even at 1.75 inches on the front?

 

Took truck to dealer for alignment to use my credit at service department. They didn't want to scratch wheels so they didn't do it. Recommended i take it to another dealer and then they declined to do the alignment because of the UCAs. Any one else have this issue?

 

Haha what?? No. Go make them do the alignment or find a shop who will do it. Plenty out there willing to do so

 

Yeah 2 different dealers. I was like wtf don't y'all hire certified mechanics. Ended up going to BlackJack Speed shop.
