what are uca's?

i will be putting a full OME lift on a 2014 trd off road. i have read a lot about UCA'S on this site , will i need them?

 

Upper control arms. You may want to do some more reading.

 

Upper control arms

Aftermarket UCA's provide caster which is lost by lifting and a greater range of motion versus stock UCA's

 

You apparently haven't read enough.



Search-button is your friend. So is common sense, look in the suspension section of the forum.

ya thanks , guess you can't ask a question without a bit a judgment on here

 

You don't need them, you can put them on for ext. travel and better camber and what not but stock should work just fine for your needs unless your planning on jumping it or something..

 

It's all good man, your uca's might work with the OME lift but unfortunately it's a hit or miss until you get the lift on and try to align it. If you can't get the caster in spec you'll need aftermarket UCAs.

 

Being an asshole to the new guy

Nice job

 

I have the full OME lift with 886 coils and was not able to get over 2 degrees of caster with the stock control arms. I went with the light racing UCA's to get the caster higher.

 

Not necessarily, it's pretty hit or miss if you can get a good alignment with stock uca's.

 

thanks for the quick informative replies guys

 

I stand corrected

 

I'm running the same lift and just put them on when I did the lift so I didn't have to go back and do it later. Plus I didn't want to pay for multiple alignments. I actually let my suspension settle for about 2 weeks before getting the alignment so nothing would change. Mine drove fine after the lift though. If it is wandering all over the road I wouldn't risk waiting.

 

I'm researching my lift too...I'm thankful for all of the redundant questions...that's just more info for me and others...

Never understood being an ass to new people wanting to learn. If you don't like the post, move on.
