    I didn't think so either. I just got my 2014 TRD OFF-ROAD done. Put 265/75R16 BFGoodrich KO2 and the Bilstein 5100 front and back shocks/ struts on and it pulls to the left. The shop(DesertRat) told me it's because I have it maxed out at 2.5. I seem to have a positive camber on both my front tires

    They suggested putting new control arms on the truck and that was the only way to align it

    2.5 caster?

    It shouldn't pull because of caster. 2.5° caster is actually pretty decent.

    Do you have the printout?

    Edit: I'm pretty sure you're talking about 2.5" of lift. Yes, your alignment is going to be poor without aftermarket upper control arms.

    Yeah I was talking about the lift. Thanks for the reply. I'm looking into UCA now and searching the threads. I guess this is more of a problem with the 2wd then the 4x4.

    So all you did was install the 5100s at 1.75?

    If you measured, what was the height difference between the front and back before the new struts?
