    Hello everyone!

    I am new to this taco world and I like camping and being outdoors so ended up buying a 2022 Tacoma sport 4x4. Anyway I have began to upgrade the suspension and other parts for off road performance.

    Point is.. after I installed fox coilover shocks (1” lift) in the front bigger tires (285/70/17 K02) after driving it for a while the steering wheel shakes driving above 50-60 mph. Not sure if this is normal due to bigger tire size and lift but I would like some input. I understand bigger tires and lift might cause this and I know this is better for off roading etc.. but just want to know if it’s normal? I uploaded my alignment sheet and see if anyone has had this issue or share their alignment specs.

    Please help and thank you taco world! :)

    Some people claim KO2s don't balance well...not my experience.
    You should have some toe-in(+0.05)
    Tires toe-out when driven.
    If you have zero static toe, it ends up toe-out when driven.

    The shake is more than likely tire balance not wheel alignment.
    As for alignment, your specs are fine, although personally I’d add more caster, but that’s not what’s causing steering wheel shake

    I’ve had great luck with Toyota doing the wheel balancing.
