    I have an ome 2inch heavy suspension. I'm having alignment issues. I'm considering aftermarket UCA. Any suggestions? I'm considering ome upper since I'm running their suspension.

    The typical recommendations around here are JBA and SPC. That said, I run Total Chaos on my OME setup.

    I'm assuming that corrected your alignment issues. I'm going to buy trd pro 4runner wheels and 285 s in the near future. Right now truck pulls to the right.

    I believe it helped with the alignment, although I didn't have any prior issues. It seems the typical recommendation is to use aftermarket UCA's if going 3" lift and up.
    In my previous Tacoma, a 2005 TRD OR, I lifted it 3" without an aftermarket UCA and and it tracked straight following alignment. Just couldn't get everything in the green.

    I see. I need to do something pretty quick. I don't want to eat up a set of tires prematurely. My doesn't pull hard just slightly. Still makes me feel like its half ass. Not the way I roll!
