    So I have a 2009 Tacoma. I have not been able to get my front end perfectly aligned. I have always had a negative camber. My off-road shop thought that I was running to high of a lift (About 3 inches) for the upper control arms I had on cause they were completely maxed out. So I decided to go and get a long travel kit from All Pro Off-road. got that put on and I still have the issue running about a 2 inch lift in the front. What else could be causing this? Could it be I have a bent Spindle? Or... What are your guys thoughts on what I should do or look at?

    When you say long travel kit, what exactly do you mean? New extended upper and lower control arms, shocks, extended CV axles, etc?

    yep..
    I wonder if your LCAs are seized and unable to adjust. Happened to me and only on the 3rd alignment attempt I found out. Ended up installing new ones.
