    Hey TC, first post here. Just wanted to provide a little insight for anyone curious about any of the combinations of parts on this setup that I am running and my experience so far...

    The build in brief: 2019 TRD Sport 4x4 DCSB, 3/2in Low Range Offroad level/lift kit (temporary until coilover setup), ECGS bushing, 17x8 TRD Sema wheels 0 offset, 285/70R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, and most recently, Nitro Gears UCAs.

    I got the UCAs to correct caster, but also because my stock UCAs would get caught under the coils anytime my truck would go on a lift. with STOCK UCAs i DID NOT rub on my cab mount with that setup. AFTER the Nitro UCAs were installed i was experiencing rubbing on the cab mount. Rust was even prevalent after a short time.

    So i finally decided to do a CMC and there is no more rubbing with the slight exception of the fender when tucked and turned driver side. Overall, super happy with the setup and just wanted to provide some insight for anyone the may consider the Nitro Gear UCAs with a similar setup. Here are some pics i got of the CMC comparing one side done and one side stock... I also always welcome any advice for my build or anything else! Thanks guys
