    looks good and what’s most important is that you are satisfied. I have seen a lot of good reviews from Rough Country lift owners and a lot of negative comments from folks that have never used RC products but get snobby. I am sure there are some bad experiences out there as well.

    I see you did the UCAs as well. Did you have the truck aligned yet? If so, any issues?

    Any vibrations?

    Yeah I’m getting the needle bearing vibe I think and there’s also one I’m getting it’s like a creak or knock while turning or backing at parking lot speeds :(

    I am 100% not a mechanic, but I would check to make sure there are no loose bolts, especially the lower control arms after an alignment. Sometimes that can cause some creaking/clicking noises while turning or stopping.

    I was just reading about needle bearing vibration which caused me to ask you about vibrations. I have seen several folks on here talking about ECGS bushing to replace needle bearing. I am sure you have read the same thing by now.

    I am eyeing the same RC kit, so definitely want to hear if you are able to run down the noises. My plan is the 3.5 RC kit and 255/85r16s on TRD rims. I still have a month or so before I can get too serious about it.

    Yeah I’m definitely Gonna look into that Ecgs part. Do you know if I have to provide the install and removal tools to a shop along with the bearing or is that just for if you wanna install it yourself

    I am not sure. I was gonna talk to the shop about it before I purchased. I updated the link in my post. I accidentally put the link for the older model Tacomas. It should be good now.

    Did you do the 3.5” lift with the rear leaf springs or blocks? How has the lift settled since installing? I’m looking at this kit for my 2015.
