    UCA's won't help it settle. but seeing as you're getting them lowered hopefully it will look good.

    @Trowbocop @thumper72 here's mine at ~5400 miles

    Thanks

    Looks bout right. Just match the lift height (or closest you can) to the amount you raise that arm for the rear brake valve.

    I have my front adjustable 5100's at 0 w/ 3" Eibach coils. And in the back the original OEM leaf pack with a 1.5" AAL and normal 5100's. My question is what leaf pack would be the easiest and most closest height to where I'm at right now? I have 238,436 miles on my OEM leaf pack and I added the 1.5" AAL at around 200,000 miles. Would it be better just to get the OEM height leaf pack an just put the 1.5 AAL back in or get a leaf pack that resembles the height I'm at now?

    so after driving it for a week now with the new suspension on and getting alignment at toyota i have noticed a slight pull to the left(drivers side) so i took it back to toyota and they told me that he got it as close as he can and that im at the end of my adjustment.. so i asked if a UCA that is adjustable would help and he said yes it would but if i could live with the slight pull he assures me it not bad enough to make tires wear out any faster then normal... so i guess i will be looking into UCA's in the near future when i can afford it.. i have noticed that i have a sight knock on the front end on compression but not on extension... i cant see anything wrong other then the sway bar seems to be a big angle is all.. any clues?

    Make sure every bolt holding your skid plates are tight. Mine has a slight knock up front when the weight transfers from side to side, cause they keep coming loose. Tightened these and it went away.

    this could be more for the OTRE and not suspension. not sure if there is a way to center the rack and check, maybe raise the front up and check toe?

    so I finally got to take skid plates off and clean them and and paint the front one and you were right one of the bolts were loose on the front and two on the rear were not tightened all the way correctly... so now waiting for paint to dry and then thinking of taking sway bar off the truck... do you think this will be bad with my 881 spring and cause excessive sway in the corners?
