Basically what im trying to make..

 

It's a two way street brother. I don't think you are understanding us, either.

If you have lifted it to the point where you need a "longer stem" to prevent the UCA from hitting the coil, you've screwed it up, and exceeded the limits of the suspension geometry. I'm guessing over 3". If that's the case, you need a kit like Procomp, which properly corrects the angles of your control arms, preserves your CV angles, etc...

Stop trying to create your own "custom" lift here. Just buy aftermarket control arms and do a proper lift.

 

Are you trying to just design your own set of ucas? Thats take a fair amount of work. Were not trying to be complete dicks just save you time and stress fron doing something that may or may not fix your problem. Your best bet is just buy after market ucas so fix your problem then start working on your own ucas is you want

 

Are you getting ideas for how to lift your truck from watching lowrider videos?

lol

 

Btw if you look at any after market control arms for your truck with uni balls you will see that they are massive compared to the oem ball joints, so any benift you think you will get from swapping to uni balls is minimal to non, because the size uni ball that would fit is small

 

I didn't even put 2 and 2 together until just now OP is the same guy from that other thread with the BJ spacers.

@Huckshot, you've now posted 3 different threads about your ball joint spacer idea.

"Converting" it to a uniball is not going to change anyone's answer for you. It's still a bad idea.

 

Lol yeah once i saw who the op was i knew how this was gunna go.

If you some how manage to make super cool guy ucas with ball joints that actually work and correct your geometry then please post picks to prove us wrong. But simply swapping in some uni balls wont fix your issue

 

But till you make these super cool guy ucas ill be waiting for the “help i broke my truck” post

 

Pretty sure he's made 3 of those posts already...

 

Why don’t you just get some balljoint spacers

Edit:

Dang... guess I was too late.

 

Just go buy an old toyota pickup with IFS, those you can use BJ spacers for a shoddy lift.

 

I don’t remember who said it
“Shade tree fuckery”
Seems to fit just all three of his threads

 

Just take a moment to admire the bro truck

 

I'd like to think we're providing some constructive criticism maybe with a hint of sarcasm for entertainment purposes.

But I guess that gets thrown out the window when it's your third thread on the same topic, and it obvious you're not really listening or understanding the advice that's being given.

So...

carry on...

 

One month later... “tacoma part out”

 

I didn’t look at the video the first time but now I have.


Holy shit
