    I've had a 3-2 ready lift kit, 18×9 rims and toyo open country m/t 275/70/18 tires installed on my taco. Truck looks great but is bouncing a bit and grabbing every line on the road. What can I get to get a more relaxed drive? I want the look but with more of a factory feel on the road. I'm thinking new shocks. I'm not a pro truck guy by any means, just want a sick ride that handles well. So I'm asking for all the taco guys for a hand. Much appreciated...

    Your steering issue is probably because your caster numbers are too low. You'll need new upper control arms like the SPC Light Racing UCAs that can be adjusted -there are plenty of other options too, but that one has the most adjustability and is on the lower end of the cost scale - about $500.

    With any front lift over 2" we start running out of caster on stock UCAs, 2.5" is about the limit and even that drives terrible with wide wheels and tires.

    Thanks for the input, I'll look into it.
