How Does Our Kit Differ?
Development began over a year ago when we saw a need for a solid alignment kit that 1) wouldn’t roll around like the OEM cams, and 2) had more than 3 adjustment options like some other similar products. We found many trucks we worked on would benefit greatly from having more alignment options. This would allow for better stance and longer tire life.

Enter the Octagon!



By using an octagon we were able to allow for 5 points of alignment without compromising durability! One of the many awesome properties of an octagon is opposing parallel sides, so much like a square you will still have 2 solid sides contacting the cam tabs.



We designed these octagonal cams to be a drop-in option for your truck meaning they do not require any modification to the frame.



Weak Cam Tabs
We found these alignment cams to be great for any light to moderate offroading, but in extreme crawling or prerunning cases we noticed the OEM cam tabs would start to bend! We decided to take it a step further and develop a complete upgrade for the cam tabs.



Our cam tab upgrade kit is laser cut out of 3/16″ steel plate ensuring tight tolerances and high strength. This kit will require grinding off the old cam tabs and welding these in their place.





Our cam tabs can be used with the OEM round alignment cams but for best results should be paired with our octagonal alignment cams. With these 2 options you should never pop out of alignment from slipping or rotating alignment cams again!

Proper Bolt Shanking
Another key point many other alignment options disregard are properly shanked bolts.



Bolt shanking is critical for ensuring your alignment tab holes do not start to wallow out over the years. Under shear load (see the illustration), the bolt experiences force perpendicular to its axis. Bolts with proper shanking will provide tighter tolerances and with the absence of these stress concentration points will increase the bolt’s performance and lifespan.



All bolts offered in our kit are properly shanked for a precise, tight, and long lasting fit.

Holding it all Together
Many similar kits use a nylock nut to hold everything together. Nylocks perform fine however they are one-time use items. Any time you remove your nylcok nut you should replace it. For these reasons we opted to go with Stover nuts.



Stover lock nuts are a one piece, all-metal prevailing torque hex nut with a conical top and a flat bottom bearing surface with chamfered corners (great for reducing damage to steering racks when installing). The locking action, created by distortion of their top threads, is said to be capable of withstanding severe vibration and shock loads.

Alignment
If tire life is a concern for you then you will be very pleased to know that our kit will align your truck well within the factory specifications! Being within factory spec ensures you will stay on the road and get longer life out of your tires and suspension!



Longevity
As you may know I drove around on 37's with this kit on my 1st gen. I never had a single issue with bumping out of alignment and if I wasn't SASing would be running it forever! Of all the suspension components in my truck, this was the most solid and reliable haha.

Just placed an order with our laser guy and our bolt supplier for 15 sets. Should have the parts in the next 2 weeks or so

 

Please tell me you will have Octagons and Bolts for the 3rd Gen Tacoma soon....

 

On the website, 2nd Gen Tacoma isn’t a selectable option….which one is identical? FJ? I’m not sure but I need the complete kit and would like to get the 20% saving price.

 

I realized that this morning. I just updated it, should be an option but in case it doesn't show up, FJC, 4th Gen 4Runner, and GX 470 are all exactly the same as the 2nd gen Taco

 

We're working on it! The issue is the 3rd gen uses a crazy weird bolt size, 13/16 or 20.5mm
We would need to get a sleeve machined. It'd also need to be hardened as to not bend/warp. It's being worked on but the last thing we want is to sell it at $300 lol.

I know other companies sell kits for 3rd gens but the bolt is like a hotdog in a hallway and I couldn't live with myself selling such a crappy fitting product.

 

Man i wanted these so bad but they weren’t available for 2nd gens and I had no idea they were coming. Just put the Taco Tabs on this weekend instead.

I guess lucky for you I’m dumb enough to buy things just cause! And I found my tabs jacked up in the process so that was going to need fixed eventually anyway.

Thanks for putting these out for 2nd gens!

 

subbing.

 

Excellent looking product. Will be subbing for spring suspension rebuild.

 

Yeah as a 2 man show we aren't very good at advertising and marketing ourselves haha.

No problem! We hope you guys like them as much as the 1st gen people do

 

Thanks! We'll put a set aside for you

 

Just put in a $2000 order for bolts and laser cut plates. Should have everything in stock soon!

Update:
Laser cut parts are finally done!!!!! I will be picking them up from our laser cutter and shipping orders out next week ASAP!

 

We are also hosting an alignment kit giveaway!!!! You can check it out on our Instagram, @KPOffroad, but if you comment below/like this post I'll add you to the giveaway as well. Winner will receive a full kit, free of charge.

 

I’m one of your subscribers on YouTube and follow you here. The projects seems to be coming along pretty good dude! Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks!! One day I'll get back to YouTube, I've just been pretty busy.

 

Great job!

 

So with each of the 5 "steps", how many degrees, or tenths of degrees, will change?

 

Every no

Every notch is going to be 45°. Other kits are usually 90°.

0° 45° 90° 135° 180°
VS
0° 90° 180°
