    ive had a few done, most of them have been good. when you install the upper ball joint keep it pulled all the way to the outside of the control arm. just let the alignment shop know not to mess with the top one and just do all the adjustments on the factory cams on the lower control arm.

    Got mine done at my Toyota dealership but I did get to sit in with the tech to explain the LR UCA's to him , he was pretty impressed with the adjustability in them

    We used the UCA camber adjustment to fine tune camber because I had seized alignment cams and it was the only way to get 3,0,0

    Where does this approx. Put the lower adjusters? I'm trying to keep them from being maxed out.





    I hope mine aren't seized.

    Excellent forum, very knowledgable Taco owners.

    After reading 47 pages over the last week, I saw a few mentions about fender/body trimming. Can someone please lead me to a good thread?
    Thank you

    Satoshi'd grill. blacked out badges. aftermarket sound system. De-chromed and color matched. OME 885s + Dakars with 3rd leaf removed. LR UCAs. Scs stealth 6 with 285 duratracs. BAMF sliders
    There is probably better threads than this one http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/267014-tire-rubbing-help.html
    But it is a recent thread and there are some pictures in the second post, notice that he trimmed the very bottom of the fender flares as well as the inner wheel well liner.

    Heres some better pictures http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/46280-front-wheel-well-trimming.html also look into the cab mount chop because there is a chance you will need to do it to fit 285s, i had to

    I still have them , replacing the LCA's went on the back burner when we were able to get a good alignment with the current rust

    i've got your exact measurements with 885's right now but I'm looking to put a bumper on soon & wondering what the 886's will give me before the bumper.
