    Alignment #'s were perfect of course. TC UCA's help with that. Love the tires. By far much quiter of a ride over the duratracs and Trail Grapplers I used to have.

    Yeah, I ended up getting some UCAs after I installed the lift to add some caster. I was just thinking too much positive camber could cause the additional height. I know Toyota's typically like some positive camber, but some techs get a little carried away IMO.

    Thanks for the info on the tires. I had duratracs before the STTs and they got pretty loud as they wore.

    Looking forward to some pics!

    Looks good! I like the look of the 12.50 width.

    I felt mine seems a little taller in the front than I was expecting. My CV angles are angled down some too. I just cant figure where it is coming from.
    Most pics I see of others seem to be pretty straight CV angle or just slightly down pointing. Take a front on shot when you get a chance so I can see what yours look like.

    Truck looks bad ass of course :)

    My CV's are pretty parallel to the ground. I'll snap a pic this weekend for ya. I know this is higher though. My antenna on my old 09 would clear my garage, this one won't. Going to replace with a stubby this weekend. Did you replace your UCA's?

    No I have stock upper and lower control arms.

    At first I thought maybe I got the wrong strut. But both the front and rear shock/strut part #s match what the install instructions have.
    My rear shocks had a paper in the box with some Ford F150 bla bla bla about them.
    If you get a chance could any of you guys measure from where the strut mounts to the LCA to the bottom of the alum coil seat.
    I get 13 1/4" from the center of the eyelet to the bottom of the alum coil seat.

    I just took a pic of the cv angle. This look like yours?

    Mine are def more angled down. I know part of it is do to some positive camber currently(getting that fixed this weekend.) I'm measuring 26 7/8" from center of hub to wheel flare. Man it's bugging the shit out of me lol.

    ohh and thanks for taking the time to look at your setup for me.

    Not trying to be a smart ass, but you aren't using any type of top plate spacer are you?

    What are you going to do to fix this? Just a realignment or something else? I have NO issues with mine.

    Going to start with the alignment for sure. From there I don't know. It has me stumped where the extra 1" is coming from. I'm sure part of that inch is the +camber. Everything bolted up perfect during install so like I said it's got me stumped at the moment.

    I don't know what the actual number is, but both are tipped out at the top.
