    AFE 3 inch sounds amazing.. volant ram air intake
    I had them done at my buddy's shop who had plenty of experience with the 5100s soo I'm doubting he miss installed them all he does is lift trucks mainly wondering what ucas would correct this and not cost a fortune. My ucas are basically maxed out thanks

    Can you post some picks of the rubbing issue and the setup on that side?
    Ive got plenty of clearance between my UCA and the spring.

    So I'm anywhere from 3-4 months from ordering this kit and I was wondering if anything else is needed to complete this kit like extended brake lines or whatever the case may be. I know I'll need a ½ spacer for the driver side lean but would there be anything else I'm missing? Ive literally read this entire thread idk if I just might have missed some information or what but all advice/ help is appreciated! :cheers:

    I think a 1/2" spacer might be too much. I used a 1/4" spacer on driver's side and it gave me 3/8" of lift, which put both sides level.

    So you didn't need new brake lines or anything?

    Some people replace brake lines, but it's not needed. Some put UCAs on to add caster, but it's not needed.

    That fixed the problem perfect. Now I have more than enough clearance. As far as somebodies comment about a top plate spacer on the drivers side, have others done this? I've had two different Tacoma's both with this same kit and never had a problem with the lean.

    I'll bet if you measure hub to fender on both sides, the driver's side will be slightly less.

    Maybe so, but if it's not noticeable to the naked eye I'm not going to be picky. Lol

    Understandable. I just can't get over the clearance now that the alignment has changed. Happy Camper!

    Finally installed the front Icon coil overs and my first thoughts were RCD did a great job with the bilstein shocks. I've driven the road and a short dirt road so far. The Icons are nice and only slightly better than the billies, not the drastic change I'm accustomed to after installing Icons with the only real noticeable difference coming from the rear but that could just be a combination of the Dakars and rear icons together. Going off roading this weekend and going to put them to a real test.
