    Hello and thanks for reading. I'm new to TW and leaning the site pretty well!!

    I installed a new rough country 6" lift kit to my 2006 Tacoma last week. I ran into no issues until trying to get the UCAs to bolt to the spindles. It seemed like they were no where near close enough to attach. We tried many things and finally got both sides bolted up and put together.

    My front tires were resting on the spindles when all said and done so I ordered 1" wheel spacers until I order new rims and tires.

    The UCAs seem to me at least, to be at a dangerous angle and I do not like it at all. The ride and feel of the truck is totally different witch I suspected a little difference but nothing this drastic. I have vibration while acceleration and deceleration that I believe and hope to be the drive shaft. The steering is very "tight" and any minute bump will send you all over the road which I hope some of it will go away once the proper alignment is done.

    But before I go get and alignment done I would like to ask for some input and help from you guys!!

    1.Is there something to do about the UCAs? I would like to not have such a sharp angle on them. I've heard of a few like total chaos and such but is there some made for 6" lifts that won't have such a intense downward angle to them?

    2. I've never been a fan of the spacers on top of the coil overs so I would like to try and find a new coil over to replace the stock ones but keep the lift height. So my question is what is a good coil over for a reasonable price that will replace the stock ones with a new one piece coil. I wouldn't mind even loosing an inch or so of lift to maybe set the UCAs down a little and bring the front of the truck down some.

    Thanks again guys!! This site has already helped me a lot!!
