Tonight's shenanigans..



I found GREEN and WHITE wire!!!

Gotta go to the Windward Mall one at the right time

IC supply?

 

anyone have problems with their alignment after their lift? I've had to take my truck back once already and it still feels like it's pulling slightly. not too sure if it's my set up or the alignment. someone told me it might actually be my tires too. i know one of my tires was hard to balance and needed a ton of wieghts to balance. Ron's told me it was my rim that was so off. any suggestions before i rip the shop a new asshole? i think i'd actually like to get someone's opinion of how the drive feels vs theirs.

 

Is your alignments numbers good?

 

yup, cheap too, like $4 for a 3ft section

hows your camber? Mine are both green, however I have slight pulling that i'm pretty sure is caused by being .5* higher on the right(side it pulls to)

I compared it to an older(3 months) alignment on the same wheels/tires and it drove perfect when the cross camber was 0.

 

I forget too. How much lift? You got UCAs?

 

Im lifted 2.5" stock uca. Alignment numbers in spec and drives fine

 

pretty sweet

 

Cross caster is the biggest offender when it comes to pulling. But camper, toe, tire pressure, and tire wear can cause a pull.

Hmm, I usually get the 8ft roll from Orileys for $6.50.

 

You sure its just not the crown of the road making you feel like its pulling?

 

That's looks bad ass! :senojeelnodnarbuilt

 

Anyone know if my stock shocks would fit my 04 first gen body style taco thinking of just getting some 5100s or the one with extra resi and putting my stocks from my 2012 on my 04 taco any info is helpful thanks

 

Just got off the phone with 4 wheel parts and my lift finially in for pickup so i am going to try to have them on by peacock trip should be fun not impossible but fun none the less

 

you'd need adapters, the shock ends are different between the 1st/2nd gens

 

Now there is a shop name!

You can do it!

 

5100's, 885's @0, AAL

same setup as you

I'm not too sure. I've tried rolling down the middle of the road and it still pulls lightly to the right.

Right after I installed lift



One month later with no wheeling of any kind



the guys apologozed to me and said he doesn't know what happened and that the sensor might have slipped. but it still feels like it's pulling even after taking it back. maybe I need to have someone else drive it to see if it's just in my head.

 

Cross caster isn't great, so could be causing a slight pull?

I would go and re-torque the cam bolts just in case?

 

sometimes i think thats why my alignment was going out so quickly. its like the slightest bump would throw it off. maybe they just arent torquing everything down properly

 

That would be my first thought if its going out so fast without any offroading. I my bolts to factory specs and re torqued them a few times to check, still pretty much in line. Haven't had it checked in a while, but tires are wearing normally and it drives great.

Check them torques and see. And remember to torque the nut, not the bolt. If you turn the bolt you will change the alignment.

 

Thanks. Do you know what they are called and who sells them or is it just better to sell them on cl lol
