    I LOVE the rigid sae's on Big Perm. They are legit and since they are legal, end up being my 2nd most used aftermarket light behind the morimoto hid upgrade on the head lights. I am going to be running these with the new bumper as well :)

    Not going to post a bunch of information about this as many have done it and there is plenty of info on the site. OME 90021 shocks with 888 spring, standard Dakar leaf package, drop carrier install. Will post angles and overall measurements later on.

    Ok, as mentioned the truck came with a space lift when I purchased it. The alignment was done at 4wheel parts, now learning what I know now I would never purposely go shopping there. Below are the alignment before the lift I installed and after, the tacoma handles so much better.

    There machine was limited to 2.9 so the tech moved the bottom out to match up. I requested it but when he showed me the numbers and we test drove I was good with it. In the end I don't think he wanted to change the setting at the top with the UCA, told it was not hard but..

    Hate to say it, but I call BS on the limitation. Glad it drives good though, that's the most important part.

    The tech said they bought a new machine last summer, he wanted a different one and he stated him and the shop foremen went round and round on it, but I'm not gonna argue with him as they didn't half to do the alignment. They were the closest shop to me that I would trust without driving all the way into SA.

    It's not up to the machine, it's up to the truck. The machine will show the numbers regardless, as you can see with your before specs.

    :notsure:

    Well like you said, it does drive a lot better then it did. As of now I will leave it, Maybe later on I will rework the UCA and then have the alignment done again. At least now it doesn't want to dart to the right when I hit a bump.

    For sure, and your tires aren't going to wear unevenly either. Check the torque spec on the alignment cam bolts though. Should be 130ft#'s for your truck. If they're loose, they'll pop and maybe even move and fold the cam ears over.
