    Yowsa...3 3/4" with spacers...

    How does it ride now?

    How far off is your alignment?

    I put a set of billies on mine set at 2.5" which gave me a little over the 2.5".....Cant get the camber at zero without ruining the caster settings or vice versa.

    In the grand scheme of things I not only wanted 0 camber so my new BFG KM2's wear evenly but I also want some decent caster numbers so the truck drives and tracks straight.

    You will have the same issue.

    If you run you camber at 0 to save those sweet tires your caster is fvcked. Caster + 4x4 Tacoma = Good.

    I ordered a set of Light Racing UCA's from Toytec in Denver.

    $399.00 + $20.00 shipping.

    How do you like your current alignment settings and how does it drive now?

    The ride seemed okay last night when I drove it home. The alignment tech is getting everything adjusted for me today.

    So, I guess we'll see how everything rides, post alignment...

    I had mine on a rack forever and a day trying to find a happy medium....

    Best we could come up with was to run this setup....

    Problem with the above is that the tires are already wearing on the outter edges due to the positive camber needed to get the caster. They failed the chalk test horribly. 285's do not like to run sans 2.0 or above caster.


    Key word of the day for lifted Tacos is...UCA!!!:eek:
