    I got mine through Headstrong, that's odd. It was a few years ago though. Toytec probably has them

    you know what...I think I might be confusing the 10mm with the 1/4" spacer. I think they're just called one or the other depending on who sells them, not much difference between the two.

    It’s a 1/4” spacer or shim. 10mm is a bit bigger than 1/4”

    sorry I didn't catch your private message a couple days ago...so you're trying to decide to keep the spacers on/off right? Being an inch higher in the front over the rear, I would take them out to make the truck more level if it were me. Personally I'd rather have the rear higher than the front if anything or for them to be level at least

    No worries, I know of a great alignment shop here on my side of town but it's not inland empire...here in Monrovia there's a place called RPM Garage that works almost exclusively on 4x4 Toyotas. They are a good group of guys over there and really know their stuff. They also have an alignment rack and do great alignments. I had a lot of trouble finding a place that could do one for me until I found them, literally right down the street from me.
    Monrovia is only maybe a 25 min drive down the 210 from San Bernardino so it isn't terribly far, though it's probably a solid drive from Riverside

    yeah I would only have the taco lean spacer on but nothing else for the front if it were me, try and get the front level with the rear or even slightly lower.

    Well the JBAs have some positive caster built into them so you should have some already just by installing them
    What size tires do you have? I recommend aiming for 3° caster on these trucks to avoid pinch weld rubbing with larger tires.

    Camber and toe you just want to be even and at or close to 0

    Sounds like you need an alignment then alright lol. I wouldn't worry about pushing the caster forward in that case since you don't have bigger tires.
