    Yeah looks like you got no grease in ball joint and the “SPC” stamped on the ball joint should be facing out towards the wheel and towards the front of the vehicle....see photo for clarity.

    @Ronzio The pic I sent is when I first installed it months ago. I just filled up the grease a few weeks ago, and the SPC is facing the right way, the flash from the camera makes it now show

    @GreyBaldTaco I am not sure. I am in class and can't check right now. But I know they are the LT265/76R16

    Have you talked to Fat Bobs. The folks that design and sell this stuff should be able to guide you in the right direction.

    Okay. So fat bob sold the stuff, mounted it and did the alignment? Wow. Tomorrow, call 4Wheel parts and talk to the tech section and see if you can get some decent alignment specs for a 2.5 lift, SPC/UCA ladda, ladda, ladda. Talk to the pro's that do this every day. Should have Neg camber, how much, I don't know.

    Thanks......hope you get it worked out. Zero to a little neg camber, little neg tow and the UCA should already take care of caster. Most folks cannot even describe caster much less explain how to adjust it. Lmao...(think I'm kidding, ask a tech to describe it and how it works)

    Here's my alignment specs from Toytec after I installed my TTBOSSTAC-2016ALM with SPC UCAs. I have 265/75/r16 C duratracs so my setup looks very similar to yours.

    Sounds like you are on the Wasatch front. I’d recommend Russ’ Alignment in SLC.

    It’s all they do and they are damn good at it. Take the sheet in the post above mine in and say you want those number. They should dial you right in.

    Also, my ball joint is in the C position from the SPC instruction sheet.

    I’m having the same issues with my 1st gen Tacoma. I’m trying to debate if I should spend $200 on the lifttime alignment at Firestone today, this would be my 4th alignment in the last 8 months

    We were allowed to sell a lifetime at Firestone for $159.95 but that was back in 12-15. It's still worth the money if you keep the car for a few years. It pays for itself in in 3 alignments or so. Great deal. I had a lifetime on my 00 merc and had 8 alignments in 3 years. Tires went 72,000 miles.
