    Everything I've read on here says I should be ok with 884s. 885s are questionable. Let's hope it goes just fine..

    I've read the same but have seen a couple of members needing UCA after getting their alignment results with 884's but VERY few. Maybe they were prerunners or 4 bangers.

    Well let me say first that I would have kept this money for other stuff because I already had the help lined up to do it. The wife made it clear that she wanted a shop to do it because if I die due to a loose bolt or something she wanted someone she could sue...

    But it's gonna be $265 including alignment. I didn't think that was horrible.

    Good for you. I had an automotive center quote me $450 for just front billies installed and alignment in FL. I ended up going to @ahspurlock for way cheaper.

    Ya that a lot a really good price. I was quoted $320 including alignment but before wheel and tire balance. I decided to just go for it myself and it came out great. I rented a lift down on base and did everything including mount and balance myself for $120

    Had a off-road shop look over everything while doing my alignment for safe measure

    Looked at the new springs... Drivers side has to come back out. Spring perch is upside down! Thank god for tacomaworld. I knew it before the mechanic knew it!!! Hahahaha
