    What is the best recommended caster/camber specs for 2” lift with stock UCA’s? The specs for the TRD lift kit I installed calls for these numbers. These numbers look ok? If yes, I’ll give the shop these specs and have them match it as close as possible.

    2020 TRD off-road. Thx

    That’s what I was thinking. The TRD lift kit calls for caster at 2.0 and I was thinking closer to 2.5.

    Last month I had 6112's and 5100's with a 1" block in the back. Stock UCA's.

    No clue what all this means, but this is what the shop gave me when I picked my truck up. Drives as good as it did stock.

    Ask for as much caster as they can give you with camber and toe set within specs. It will probably be in the higher 2 degree range but, not quite 3. Ski

    You won’t be able to get 2.5 with stock uca, I doubt you’ll even be able to get 2. It will likely be somewhere near 1-1.5. I have the “unbranded” trd lift and on stock uca’s I had 1.3 degrees of caster with the cams completely maxed out

    Had the alignment done and this is what I got. Does this look ok for a 2” lift and stock UCA’s? I was hoping for more caster, and closer to 0 on the camber, but Tech said he maxed the caster and to get the camber closer to 0 he’d have to go even less on the caster.

    Good tech. He’s right, can’t go lower on camber without sacrificing caster. I told you, getting 2 degrees on a 2 inch lift is pretty hard without uca im not sure how those other folks got it. My specs were damn near the exact same as yours with my billstein 5100 , 2 inch front 1 inch rear
