    @Unchained 5150 can you list a picture of the your UCA ball joint boot? I'd like to compare how it sits to mine.IMG_20151116_191015873.jpg

    Exactly brother they will never get a recommendation from me. I will always let any person know not to go with them if they are looking for good caster in a 3 inch lift. It's funny I set up a Poll on here and was all in for Camburg, should have went SPC LR UCA's. But hey we all learn by our mistakes, but word of mouth and actual product ownership opinions go a long way

    The boot design MOOG does on the Tacoma ball-joint isn't multi-ribbed like a CV boot so it bunches up like that ... that's pretty normal looking. Make sure it's not pinched down in the tapered hole when it got installed though. To a certain degree it floats on the stud portion so it doesnt get twisted up when turning.

    Keep me in the loop. I am very interested in picking up a set once the wrinkles are ironed out.

    Me as well, I don't mind spending money on an honest quality product that won't have footnotes on what it can and can't work on.

    Sucks UCAs cost so much money. That's what's kept me from going up any higher than I am. Hard to justify to myself. I feel it should wipe my ass for me in addition to correcting my alignment for that much money.

    Okay. @Unchained 5150 's look like mine.

    I did check that the boot wasn't caught in the spindle hole when installing.

    King 2.5" extended travel coilovers with compression adjusters, Camburg UCA's, King 2.5" rear shocks, TRD 1st gen CAI.
    With my Camburg ball joint uca's, I was able to get my alignment to 0 camber and toe with 3.0 caster. Truck feels like it rides on rails.

    OP, maybe your alignment guy just sucks? I had to go to two different shops to get the numbers I got.

    So here is my question for you peeps. My cam on the passenger is maxed out. Driver's side is not and what if I need another alignment after hitting a pot hole or something? Am I fucked on the driver's side? Or once you set caster that doesn't really move, and you only have to adjust Camber and Toe. if I have him go back and bring the Positive Camber back to 0.0 instead of 0.4 Passenger and 0.5 Driver's side my passenger side cam will not be maxed out but my Caster will be about 2.2?

    You are 2.5 inches of lift correct? We are talking about how you can't get that with a full 3 inch lift

    I have King extended travel coilovers set at 3". The first place I went to gave me the same numbers you got. The second place I went to was able to give me the numbers I wanted, first try.
