    I have the ARB lift kit and heavy coils up front with the winch bumper combo do you guys recommend the TC's for this setup as well. I have not heard of this setup until I read a post about the stock UCA's being with little adjustment with any kind of lift. I do a lot of driving mainly highway miles.

    If you have a lift, and want the factory geometry returned to stock values, an after market UCA that adds caster is the way to fix it.

    Thanx Chris, now gotta save for the TC UCA's. I found the site that was on here that sells them, looks like about $670.00 is that about right?

    That was a shitty time on the drivers side! The longer bolt that goes behind the coilover basket has be be coaxed all around, in, through, all over the fuel lines, i was a bit nervous for a min.

    I kno you guys aren't. 1st gen...but I plan on gettin a 01-04 taco trd 4x4 and I'm wondering...

    If I get a 3 inch coil over lift kit through icon or camburg or jus whoever...would I need to invest in some aftermarket ucas also? Haven't quite looked at the lifts but was told coilover was the way to go on a 3 inch for 1st gen, do they come with ucas? Sorry if its a dumb question...

    I have a 2.5" toytec coilover lift and I went with DSM's UCA's . Very happy with these they are extra beefy and use stainless balls. Give Sonny a call (down so. motorsports) he is a great guy to deal with and mention to him that you are a member of TW
