    3in lift kit (TTHA-CK-AL), Bilstein 5100 height adjustable front shocks, Toytec/Eibach 112620 front coils, Toytec 2” lift rear Add-A-Leafs, Extended length Bilstein 5100 rear nitrogen gas shocks. EBC sport Rotors, Green stuff pads. Black Badges.

    Hey guys,

    I recently did a 3" lift on my 2007 toyota tacoma Sport TRD, with bilstein 5100's and Toytec/Eibach 112620 front coils. I also have a 2" add a leaf in the rear. I have 265/70r17 nitto trail grapplers on XD series addict wheels. After doing the lift I went to get an alignment and they basically adjusted just the toe and from what I can tell didnt adjust the camber or caster. My before numbers are:

    Front
    Left Front Right Front
    Camber

    .5 deg .2 deg
    Caster .7 deg .2 deg
    Toe .41 deg -.02 deg
    Total Toe .39 deg
    Steer ahead .22 deg

    After alignment:
    Front

    Left Front Right Front
    Camber .5 deg .2 deg
    Caster .7 deg .2 deg
    Toe .05 deg -.01 deg
    Total Toe .04 deg
    Steer ahead .03 deg

    Rear​
    Camber -.3 -.3
    Toe .24 -.26
    Total Toe -.02
    Thrust Angle .25

    From what I can tell they couldn't adjust the rear (it was all grayed out). My question is first, does anyone know what the highest caster I should be able to achieve? Also, is the Stock UCA adjustable at all for Caster? On a side note I found a place here in FT Wayne, IN that specializes in lifts that will redo my alignment on Monday but would like to know what im dealing with and if I should preset Caster at all.

    Correct, the rear isn't adjustable.

    I recently went with OME884/Nitro (raised the front 2"), and the following is the Best the Alignment Guy was able to get (stock upper/lower control arms):
