Can't get front alignment correct after installing Bilsteins

The posted that the sale would end Sunday. Code didn’t work, so when I called them out on it, they say oh well it ended at 12:01 Sunday morning. Which is basically freakin Saturday night. Then have the nerve to say I’m complaining!!! They then reactivated the code to work for today

 

Lol.
1201 am is Sunday morning technically
It should have been more clear probably

 

Yeah but you know me, gotta start trouble somewhere

 

So we change your name from Ben to Trouble

 

I would, but @Trouble_The_Tacoma has the name, and he wears it well. The shit he causes on this site is magnificent

 

I was not saying change user name, just the Ben part

 

absolutely gorgeous truck!

 

Ok so my truck has 55,000 miles never wrecked always been in the garage if not at work never off road nothing wrong with it at all. 4x4 sport old man truck

 

He used a new machine idk anything about alignment machines but there was large reflectors on all 4 wheels and a big computer.

 

Then he should have been able to get you the numbers to print out or at least show you. Sounds like he got lazy and didn’t want to do it properly. It’s VERY common with alinement techs unfortunately, especially with lifted trucks. They require more adjustment to get them in spec. Take it somewhere else

 

I didn't know to ask. I'm going to go back and have it realigned. I didnt want to waste his time or mine if someone here may have already known how to correct problems with a 2nd gen tacoma with Billies

 

1. "Everyone" don't say go Bilstein. A little research here on TW you would of found many Fox owners who used to run Bilstein on the Fox threads. No matter what the brand 2" is still 2" and when you get close to it you should be thinking about UCA's to correct caster.

 

Hey everyone, I finally got around to installing the upper control arms. And it's an amazing difference. I'm probably going to run this setup for awhile. However a 4 to 6 inch maybe in the future. Thanks for all the help.

 

I have the Toytec 3” coilovers that use bilstein 5100’s and jba ucas. Like most guys here have said either get the uca’s or gone down a bit on the bilsteins. If your alignment guy still can’t get it right get a new alignment guy.

 

After reading this thread I am for sure not looking forward to reading the thread when you go to a 4-6 lift and have to cut the frame.....lol

 

You need Adj. uca's if you insist on 2.5 inch on the Bilsteins,end of story.Lots of threads about that fact if you would of googled it.

 

Ok guys I installed the spc ucas. Alignment and drive is alot better. But now I've got a clunking noise coming from what seems like the ball joint. I greased them I torqued every bolt and rechecked. I have left nothing loose and absolutely everything torqued by spec. Any ideas before this becomes a land cruiser
