CLOSED 5/31/20 GROUP BUY Dirt King LCA's Ball Joint Type GROUP BUY ENDS 5/31/20 CLOSED

Never heard of anybody not being able to get an alignment right with TC uppers and stock lowers. Could have been the alignment technician.

 

Likely was, two places said pretty much said the same thing to me. “We got it as good as we could get it”. It may have been the bolts being seized too but idk. I had some pretty uneven wear patterns on the tires. I’m not an alignment tech so whatever. Regardless, it’s not happening again with this Tacoma. I’m dropping the money to get it done right... the first time. Thanks for the group buy, looking forward for more in the future. I’ve already gotten my invoice.
Does anybody have any clues to Memorial Day sales for lift kits anywhere?

 

No problems with alignment and I have Icon billet uppers which have more adjustment than most. Take the advice that Mully gave you about glorifiedwelder about the spindle exchange!!!!

 

I have not yet seen a picture of these with a icon setup, all kings. Kinda wishing i had kings

 

That guy will do an actual exchange? So I don’t have to wait around for them to get finished? He’ll send me a set that’s ready to go in exchange for mine?

 

Mine are getting delivered tomorrow so I decided to spend the day douching my front and rear shocks. What a PITA

 

Man, that looks good.

 

Nice, love that upper control arm. Looks stout.

 

Thanks. I have been going back and forth on if I should do the spindles now or just wait til I’m doing hub bearings or CV’s. I don’t know ?? But I certainly will be giving @glorifiedwelder some business whenever I do it.

 

Interested in this also ? Is there a form on it ?

 

PM @Unchained 5150 for the info.

 

I think he meant the gusseted spindles

I reached out to dirt king about what kind of grease they recommend on the bushings. That grease is about 45 dollars on Amazon

 

@ardrummer292 it really sounds like you don’t need these. To be fair, I don’t need them either. But I did need a 1 new lower, 2 new lower BJs, and bushings. Combine that with a want to spend money, a deal I personally couldn’t pass, and looking cool, I went with them.

Like you said, overkill for a lot of us and underkill for a few more. I’d take your money and find other area of improvements. I had your thought process, I’d have more money.

 

Anyone want to sell me their *2nd gen*stock LCA's that have the camber bushing sleeve free? Prefer with <90k miles since that's what's on the truck now. Mine are seized and the local shop wanted $300 to free them...

 

I used Red n' Tacky on my first set. They last 5 years. I'm OK with that.

 

You can buy mine when I install everything. My 2020 has 3500 miles

 

Ya sorry meant spindle gussets ha thanks for the link. Already got my order in for lowers, can’t wait

 

He will need 2nd gen lowers
