5 lug 2nd gen Tacoma lift update

Hi lovely community, I was lifting my truck today and one of the upper control arm bolt broke off while trying to open so the other part of the bolt is stuck there. Is it safe to keep it that way and replace near future. Thank you

 

Depends on the bolt, but typically no. Sometimes catastrophically no.

 

oh ok thank you and is getting alignment must for 2.5” inch lift for the 5 lug Tacoma 2wd?

 

Any time you change suspension or steering part, you should get an alignment.

 

Of course.

Are you using a Fat Bob's kit?

 

no it’s torch off-road kit . And I ended up not doing alignment I didn’t needed truck drives great and normal.

 

Watch your tire wear. The truck may drive straight and feel the same, but toe and camber charges will show on your tire edges as scrubbing and accelerated wear.

 

Broken bolt and no alignment-asking for trouble

 

@Nazarath7
Curious if you used the OEM upper control arms? I installed the Readylift 2.75" and my OEM UCAs are rubbing all over the coils. Any recommendations?

(I have a 2007 2wd, 5 lug taco)

 

No mine it’s not rubbing it’s all good , I put the 2.5” inch lift and it’s all good

 

Great. Thank you!! I’ll try the 2.5” and see how it goes. I do wish they had some aftermarket UCAs for these 5-luggers

 

Myra it’s very hard to find them. But mine is doing great nothing unusual rides smooth also, I also put 245/75/16 tires.
