    I tried looking for that coupon, but I guess it was a one day only promo, had to pay 320 for them on ebay.
    there is a guy selling them for 250 plus 10 shipping, he says he never rode on them but have light scuffing (not light to me) from when he tried to install them.

    Anyways I'm just waiting for mine to arrive. I'll update you on how it goes :p

    So, I would like a little guidance of anyone here knows a little about aligning lifted tacos more so than I do.

    This is 5100s at 0" with OME 887 coils (about 3" lift in the front)

    Also, it may be important to note that I have a bad ball joint on the drivers side and the alignment was performed by Townfair Tire (often a little careless in my past experience). They tend to only care about getting the boxes in the green, in acceptable specification range. As you can see, I have a little positive camber. It drives me crazy to look at, but the truck drives straight and smooth.

    PS to this lengthy passage:
    I believe that at 2am, when I was finishing up installing my progrssive AALs in the rear, I may have tightened the ubolts unevenly. What are signs and symptoms of rear end misalignment?

    Sorry for straying off topic a bit and thanks guys.

    I'm no expert but your initial 3.1 for caster looks good for an aftermarket UCA, I am looking for more caster than stock UCAs allow when lifted.
    Looks like they tried to do the stock toyota specs on your alignment

    They’re $320 on Amazon and free 2 day shipping for prime members! Think I might go with these!

    Thank you for responding. First of all, I have never seen that man, gun, or photo in my life so I'm confused as to how it ended up in my post....
    ????????????????????????????
    Secondly, that's what I thought they might have done. I'm going to a specialty shop. What are ideal camber/caster numbers I should be looking for with my lift?

    I just ordered a set, Amazon, so if they’re crap they’ll go back ... I want to confirm what ball joints and what bushings are used. I sent them an email and was told that the ONLY replacement parts that will fit are from Freedom. I call BS and don’t think they’d develop they’re own BJ and bushings. I’d love to throw in some OEM bushings and know that I can swap BJs at any parts store ...

    Ordered mine through Amazon and they showed up yesterday. They looked good coming out of the box and the ballpoints just look like a generic brand so I have no doubt they could be replaced with some from a parts store

    Prolly just being impatient, but are there any markings on the ballpoint? Usually they’re stamped with a model or some identified somewhere, perhaps the grease cap or something.
