    My recommendation is to get the T handle they sell. Use that in conjunction with the straight handle that comes with the shocks. Simply jack up the truck, spray some penetrating oil on the threads 5 min before, loosen the set screw on the collar and go to town. If you are going to adjust up to three inches, you should be able to achieve this pretty easily. I have probably adjusted my kings about 8 times on my truck between my MT coils and my LT coils. Simply a 5 minute job.

    True that AND gusseting and frame reinforcement. Our frames are still a tin can compared to something like a raptors that was designed for mild off road use from the factory.

    **Bigger tires have nothing to do with it.. The lift is what pulls the caster out of alignment, more lift/ more positive caster needed. My Tacoma on FOX 2.5 with a coilover set a 2.75-3" for my 35" tire is running 3 degrees of caster and is awesome.

    3* is more than factory spec, just sayin. And the thread is from 2017 so the OP's issue is hopefully resolved by now.
