OME 887 springs and Upper Control Arms info needed

http://www.arbusa.com/uploads/PDF/accessorizeYourRig/toyotaTacoma.pdf

Application guide from ARB/OME listing the 2887 as a 2" lift with no weight up front.

It does in fact lift 2" from my experience when combined with the 5100's for the 2016

 

I like my JBA UCAs with my 887 coils. I didn't want adjustable UCAs as I figured that was one more point of failure, or at least the ability to become loose and lose my alignment. Maybe that's not true but it's how I came to my conclusion

 

Easier alignment for what reasons? Non adjustable? And yea i like that balljoint design forsure, right on

 

3rd gens start out an inch higher than 2nd gens stock. So your 2 inches would be equivalent to 3 inches on my truck

 

Ohhhh, sorry i havent looked up more info on the 2 different UCAs. So the JBAs dont have an adjustable caster? They are fixed? And the light racing ones are adjustable, which causes more difficultt for alignment shops?

If so, JBA sounds like a much better option, along with a beefier arm, and easily replaceable balljoints. Plus red is my favorite color

 

Wow i feel like an asshat now.... I didn't even notice that you were on a 2nd gen. My bad man. Hope it was at least some help for ya

lol

 

No worries!

 

Sorry to hijack but Chase what lift&tire combo are you running, we have the same truck minus color,curious the setup your running and any rubbing or anything?

 

The JBAs are designed for higher caster and the ball joint has a wide range of motion. I think a few members have said that their local shops won't work on the SPC because they are adjustable. And I agree, at first I was on the fence about the red but once installed them I really liked the look. It's not as noticeable in the wheel as I was thinking, but they do add some nice contrast in there

I'm still looking into a rear shock option. I don't flex the rear end so the stock shocks will be fine for a bit. Leaning heavily toward the Fox 2.0 Remote Resi with CD adjustors

 

@Travis1209 I would also skim through this thread.

Alot of info on the JBA UCAs. If your going with 887 coils, you'll want the "High Caster" option.

 

Yea the JBAs sound great.

I have 17X9 wheels with 4.75BS, i believe -12mm offset, you know your exact wheel specs? Now i need to make sure my wheels wont hit the UCAs, i feel like i will be alright though

 

17x8.5, 4.30 BS, -10mm offset

Rims specs give me a headache. I remember crunching numbers before I bought the SR8s. SCS makes a very good product. Just be ready to get on the waiting list for them lol

 

My inside rim wall is almost in the same spot as yours, slightly wider i believe. Thanks for the specs, i should be alright

 

Damn you have the wheels I wanted!except now they told me they don't offer them with blacked out bolts in the lip so I'm hunting other wheels

 

Actually mine are -6mm offset. So slightly tucked in more. I still should be alright though.

Here's the spacing between my tire and the UCA.

 

Awesome, plentyyy of room. Thanks for the pic. Do you know how much room there is at full steer?

 

That I don't, but I know mine have never rubbed the UCA. No marks or missing PC so I never measured.

 

Right on, yea i should be good to go

 

You'll probably be OK. Worse case you have to buy some wheel spacers.
