    I just bought an 08' TRD Sport DCSB and i love it. I put a lift on it this weekend with a little help from a friend of mine and i was just wondering if you guys think i should get new UCAs as well.

    This is the lift: http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com...oss-Suspension-System-for-05-Tacoma_p_15.html

    Before:

    After:

    Here is my baby with the lift:

    This is the first time ive ever done any kind of work outside of the standard changing my oil or rotating my tires etc. so any input would be helpful.

    I would say yes but that is just me. I figure if I'm spending some good coin on a nice quality lift why not beef it up even better with some nice new UCA's @Blackout14 hook this boy up with some nice high caster JBA's

    Oh yeah you need them, Caster is way too low for a 3 inch lift. And to much positive Camber. Go for 2.5 - 3.0 Caster and to me a max of 0.5 Positive Camber

    I have Camburg but I would recommend the JBA high caster standard arms. Or the Light Racing UCA's

    Go with the JBA arms as they are red and will look sweet with that set up

    Yes on UCAs for a proper lift and ride. Plus one on the camburgs or total chaos brands. I went with camburg bj as the northeast winter is not friendly to uniball setups.

    I ordered the JBAs, cant beat a lifetime warranty. +1 for matching colors, i think ill start adding some red accents somewhere to keep the trend going.
