Leveling Kit Troubles

I have a 2009 Tacoma Reg. cab. I put a Daystar 2" leveling kit on it, had it aligned and the front tires still lean in on the bottom. The outside of the tires are wearing a little, although it doesn't pull to either side. Do I need additional modifications ie; offset ball joints?
What do you think?

 

ive heard of some of our trucks having trouble with as little as 2.5" of lift but not 2". any chance the allignment shop messed up? if they didn't and thats really the case, then your LCA is at the max for allignment adjustment so either go with a smaller lift or upgrade to aftermarket UCA's. keep us posted

 

what are the camber numbers? it sounds like too much positive camber.

 

Hi, I was mistaken. I have a 2.5" leveling kit. I had the truck aligned at a supposed highly ranked shop(Yelp). The owner of the shop said that they had a hard time adjusting the cams on the a-arms. He said that they were frozen but he said he got it.(charged me 110.00 vs.79.00) Should I hit all of the adjustment points w/PB Blaster & take it to another shop for inspection? I just want it to be right before I buy new tires.
Thanks

 

All Regular Cab 4X4 Trims

• The caster angle can range from +1.03 degrees to +1.53 degrees, with the ideal setting being +0.78 degrees with a cross tolerance of 0.5 degrees. The camber angle can range from -0.21 degrees to +1.29 degrees, with the ideal setting being +0.54 with a cross-tolerance of 0.5 degrees. The ideal toe-in setting is +0.09 degrees but it can range from -0.07 degrees to +0.25 degrees. The SAI should be set at +11.9 degrees, with a variance of 0.8 degrees. The ideal turning angle is 40.3/35.9 degrees, with a variance of 1.5 degrees.

As shown on Ehow website. Does this apply after leveling kit install?

I don't think that these numbers apply after the leveling kit install. They're probably for the stock configuration.
But I would think that the front tires should lean in on the bottom after the alignment.

 

Additionally, I never got a printout from the shop after the alignment....

 

subd

 

this is what i based my alligment on http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/40470-ucas-alignment.html
it drives great now. my camber is 0 , toe is 0, and caster is about 2.3
the numbers above are for my current lift probably 3 plus inches. but when i ran 2.5" i went with 2 caster and it drove great

 

Thanks MTM I'll present these to the alignment shop when I go for the alignment.
Thanks, take care...

 

no problem. give us an update when its finished. personally i always have the shop print off my alligment sheet just so i know the actual numbers
