    I went through ToyTec! Bought my original ULK from them 4 or so years ago! Great support, great people to deal with! Very patient with me and ALL my questions!

    This time around, Tanner helped me make some decisions on upgrades etc!

    Great pricing too!

    Lots of great vendors here on TW!

    ToyTec has a loyal customer in me!:D

    A few things
    Really? Most of the people I know locally that have LR are using the E position. Might have something to do with tire size (33+) and rear wheel well clearance.

    Why'd you buy a new set instead of rebuilding what you have? Just wondering, not questioning your choices

    I figured new bushings, ball joints and labor time would just about even things up!:eek:. Plus, I'll have a new frame, COs, and LCAs! I didn't want to put the rusty looking ones back in!:rolleyes:

    I may rebuild the old ones at some point, or see if someone here might be interested in them used, "as is"!:)

    Yeah, makes sense, I'd do the same if I had the money. PM'd you about the old ones :D

    I understand the whole maxing caster in LCA in op post. I'm currently running 265s and I may want to go up to 275s next. I don't think I should have any problems with rear wheel well clearance

    Set mine at D and took it in for alignment today. I have Maxtrac spindles with trd sport springs at 1.75 on 5100's with 1/4 spacer on driver's side.
    Final Numbers
    Camber: 0
    Toe: 0
    Caster: 3.3 on driver's side, 3.9 on passenger.

    Truck is extremely stable and drives better than it did when I drove it home from the dealership.

    Nice. I'm looking for a 3* caster as well. Looks like I'll set mine at D and go from there. Is it hard to set camber on these things? Is it as simple as loosening the bolt and slide it in and out?

    I just maxed the camber on the UCA's at home before I took it in and firestone was able to get my camber to 0 using only the LCA camber bolt.

    By maxing camber out, it's all the way towards the tire right?

    Yes, I'm pretty sure. Also think you probably want to start with the camber in the middle.

    I put mine on yesterday, maxed out the camber. I'm pretty sure I just got some lift out of mine or the stock ucas weren't letting the suspension breathe.
