Did I order the wrong springs? Opinions?

    '15 Tacoma AC 4x4 4 cyl MT
    Bone Stock
    2015 4x4 AC base model 4 cylinder

    Ordered the following a couple days ago:

    Bilstein 5100 Ft & Rr
    OME 885 with 1/4 inch spacer for driver side
    Icon 3 pack AAL

    Wheels and tires will be 17x9 with -12 offset and 265/70-17 tires most likely

    The parts are not here yet but I keep reading conflicting info on UCA's. Some of you guys have this set up with stock UCA's and no alignment issues and some of you can't get caster in spec with this set up.

    I cannot swing another $500 right now after that whole list of stuff I bought, should I roll the dice and just install the 885s or should I get 884s? Both would be installed with 5100s at "0". Or option 3, stock springs with 5100s at "1.75"?

    I have no plans for front bumper or winch. It will also rarely see off road use.

    Thanks for any help guys.

    Well the parts arrived today. I think I'm just going to install them and then get an alignment and see what happens.

    If I can't get caster in spec, worst case is I sell the 885s and order some 884s or Eibachs.

    It's always better to save up and get everything at the same time. Now if you need UCAs you will have to spend even more money getting those installed as well ... plus another alignment.

    You'll get it close enough. Start saving now for UCA's.
