    I was hoping someone could help me with the alignment specs for my 2017 Tacoma trd sport 4 door. I installed a 2" leve kit on it and the alignment would not go into spec with stock uca
    so I purchased there uca and it brought camber to spec but caster is what I think is wrong
    it only has 1.25 pos. caster and at highway speeds it seems like I cant keep it between lanes

    Yup that company is generally referred to on here as Junk Country, should have done more research before purchasing a lift. You have a link to this said kit? I am guessing it is Hockey Puck spacers.

    Totally should have, but, let's work with what you got. Seems to me that the 2" level kit is more than just 2". Measure just how thick the spacer is and you pretty much multiply that by 2 to get the amount of lift it will give you. Next, compare stock UCA'S to the aftermarket ones. Take a stock UCA from passenger side, flip it, and compare it to the driver side aftermarket UCA. Are they the same? How do they differ? Is the aftermarket BJ further back than the OEM? Are the arms shorter or longer? I ask this because I haven't had the opportunity to do a rough country lift yet.

    You should be able to get a better alignment WITHOUT aftermarket uppers. Shitty alignment tech or frozen eccentrics.
