Upper control arm to high

Remove the balljoint spacer and replace the shocks, they look well, worn.

 

Which shocks and springs you guys recommend

 

Since you don't off-road I'd say just stock replacements.

 

Just get some bilstein shocks, maybe consider replacing springs too, depending on your mileage

 

The minor league dumpster fire this has turned into since youve been gone

Looks like you just need springs that arnt collapsed

 

Sorry I work odd hours.. do you guys have a link for the shock and springs. don’t know which ones to get .

 

We can cross "bumpstops" off the list. Do you see how your LCA is smashed up against your bumpstop? Something is waaaay wrong here.

And to answer your question, probably. I'd guess you'll get pretty close without the spacer and maybe some adjusting of your SPC UCAs. I've been wrong before though. I've just never seen such a long sausage of a ball joint spacer and my eye-estimate would put your UCA in the right range without the spacer.

To be honest, I've never seen this issue before.

 

Another thing to consider is that your alignment cams have some more downward movement they could take advantage of for bumpstop issues. I'm sure somebody with more knowledge in alignments can weigh in on that. You'd have to realign the whole setup, but it sounds like you're going down that road anyway.

 

The cams only move in the x axis not the y axis

 

Only way to fix it is to buy a Ford raptor at this point...

 

When you did the lift what all did you install?

 

Almost wondering if those ball joint spacers were on beforehand and not part of the 6" drop bracket kit

 

It’s a rough country 6” lift kit . Then I got the upper control arms . Inner , outer tie rod , lower control arm bushings and lower ball joint .

 

Is this the lift you purchased? https://www.roughcountry.com/toyota-suspension-lift-kit-74130.html

 

That is the kit he has, except it has the TRD Bilstein 4600 shocks which are still stock length shocks with spacers on top.

My question is, I wonder if he can easily unbolt it as I'm unfamiliar with install of said kit.

I've heard some DB kits notch the subframe, but wasn't sure if that was all 6 lugs or just 4x4 models.

 

Yes .. my Tacoma is 2 WD

 

The shocks it com’s with are for the back .

 

Doesn't the whole front cross member get cut out and replaced? I don't know much about them either just what I've heard on here when people are looking to undo them, they have to find an original cross member to weld in. Might depend on the kit too I guess

 

Yes it’s true

 

I wouldn’t think you’d have to cut anything unless you’re lowering a diff at the same time, don’t know though
