2014 Toyota Tacoma Upgrades gone wrong

I'm perfectly ok with my stocker UCA's for the time being. They get me the caster I need and handle all of my 60-65mph+ runs with ease. Why would you want more camber though? 0 is ideally what you want.

 

I needed aftermaket uniballs to get the full benifit of the droop out of my extended travel. I was able to get a decent alignment with my 3 inch toytec lift and stock UCAs.

 

I got extended travel also on my SAW's. They get a crapload of droop, when I take off my swaybar links

 

Some people just want to jump their truck, they don't care about droop and uptravel. #yoloswagblazeitfgt420

 

You get a "crapload" of droop which isn't much considering it's limited by your stock ucas. A crapload to you is nothing to most.

 

This. No sway bar ftw

 

Rough Country lift and you're wondering why it's a rough ride? It's implied in the name of the product.

 

^ He edited his post and said he's still on stock suspension with 33x12" tires lol some people

 

I hate to beat a dead horse, but as the others have said - hunks of metal providing lift in the front and rear + huge AT tires = less than superb ride. There are many, many lift threads on this site which will steer you in the right direction. You have a brand new truck! Treat it right

 

Dude. You SOUND stupid with those Yolo#thuglifeswagitstyles. Stop it. Ceaseth thy Fuckery at once.

I haven't really looked around, but where is it documented that the stock UCAS's limit the travel? Where is the maxing out of the BJ using 6" travel CO's while using extended rod ends? This is not a jackass sarcasm, this owns legit question. If I am still being limited, I want to see pictures on it. Not just someone's snooty remarks.

Also, that's right, a crapload to me is just that, my perception on the matter. What is a lot to me might not be a lot to most. Well no shit Sherlock. A lot to someone else is rock crawler status travel. Similar to the type of goals that Mademan925 is trying to accomplish. Is that my goal? No. Would it be nice to have more travel? Sure but I'm not willing to pay a premium to get 1-2" extra of it, just for it.

No swaybar rocks!

 

I had a rough country lift on my Fj and i blew it the fuk out after just a few months of moderate wheeling. They really make a shitty product

 

Lol, I must have missed that part in the huge run on paragraph.

 

I have heard they are pretty crap myself. I'm glad I never went down that route.

Yes, 3" lift. I'm running SAW non OE custom tabbed up coil over's which I built up myself using Camburg top hat adapters and 3" extended lower rod ends. Here's a pic. (BTW, the pic was snapped just freshly installed and not adjusted yet. I have the upper plate adjusted down to achieve the 3" lift of it now.)



The Camburg top plate adapters



The lower rod ends

Haha, that's Nick for ya. I still dig your rig regardless what you do to it Nick!

 

Cuz the round lights are temporary. I had them sitting around and wanted more light. There will be a winch there soon. The square lights belong in the round holes cuz I said so. Dont try making sense of what I did. haha

 

Thanks Roberto. I paid the premium for the extra couple inches or so of down travel but I also didnt want to have to worry about the alignment. The Icons extended travel requires aftermarket ucas per the website.

 

Is that what they said? Damn, that sucks dude. You are pretty much forced to run them basically. Actually, the more I think about that the more that makes me wonder. I think the reason they say that is for liability/legal purposes. I am running the exact same travel you are with the difference being the UCA's (6" travel with extended rod ends). I think they say that because if you aren't getting the travel they advertise out of them and they don't state you need an aftermarket UCA in order to achieve max travel the CO's have to offer, then they'd be in some deep shit for "false advertising."

 

You don't have understand it. Just accept it.

 

Toyota dealership here in savannah where I bought my truck complimented me on my lift and said it one of the best they have seen. Nothing too crazy just well done and looks great. I installed myself the complete OME lift kit with Dakars. I did not add top spacers to the front and went with the 885's. All I added was spacer for taco lean and LR UCA's. After I took it in for the alignment the master service tech brought me back to take a look at the alignment. Everything was perfect and in spect. What he told me after he had it aligned, surprised me. He said nice lift but why did you waist your money on UCA's? I was shocked, I always thought that you need them for lifting 3" and I will be going with 285's at some point. He said that it is a waste of money and I should have saved it and not have bought them. Funny thing was he had to ask permission from the service manager if he could even tell me that. Funny or is this true? Do I really need UCA's. I asked if I should put my stock ones back on. He told me no, that these are much more stronger but did not have to adjust them at all. Highly advised me not to go with adjustable UCA's in the future. Everything I have always read on here said to purchase, now I have a master service tech tell me it's a waste. Too late now I have them and my truck handles and drives better than stock. At the end of the day, I don't care what anyone says. I'm happy. Just my 2 cents, not looking for any change thanks.

 

That was the point? I thought all you kids, whom jumped your basically stock truck, said that before take off?

Why do you need documentation? Let your tire hang in the air and the UCA will hit the coil..

All I'm trying to do is rustle your jimmies, replace your tampon
