    3 inch lift
    I have a 3 inch lift on my truck and it appears the front is lower? Is this normal? And what could I do to fix it?

    Did you buy the truck with it?
    Is the front adjustable?
    Do you have steel front bumper?

    A little more info would be helpful to people to steer you in the right direction.

    Depends, it could be depending on your lift. Measure it, if its off then check your shocks. If shocks are good order a slight smaller rear block?

    3 inch lift
    Yeah I bought it with the lift and when I bought it they said almost 3 inch and standard front bumper... I’ve asked a few of the guys at the dealerships and they are telling me it a 3 inch forsure but haven’t looked at it and they said it’s bilstein I think

    I’d really like it to match the back I have 285/65/18s and it rubbed slightly every now an then in reverse

    Sounds like you're in the beginning stages of the "Never Ending Cycle". Good luck to you and your wallet, sir.

    Take some pictures of the set up if you can get some so maybe the parts can be identified. If they are adjustable you should be able to fix it pretty easy. Post some pics if you have time.

    Cool. Someone will definitely be able to identify them I’m sure. It will get figured out. Hopefully it’s fixable without too much hassle.

    Is that a stock UCA? Does anybody know how much lift maxes the UCA travel? Do your tires drop any when you jack the front end up? I'm no expert, but the last lift I helped a friend put on his tacoma came with new UCAs.

    You should measure front and back. The original owner probably wanted the factory rake. Look into your wheel offset. Might want to consider a cab mount chop and some plastic trimming. Search 285 threads. Theres a stupid amount of information already out there about this topic and you will probably get a more accurate solution to your problem researching yourself. Good luck

    Looks like a stock UCA. Generally, if you go with a lift above 5100s or OMEs, you will probably want UCAs for alignment purposes (and for droop with extended travel shocks)

    Looking at those pics again, they dont look adjustable unless they have a snap ring down below. Which you could move, though not optimal.
