    Also, steering may feel less responsive because you have a higher center of gravity now? Not sure about that, just a thought.

    Yeah hopefully from here on out I can do the installs myself. I'll most definitely be buggin some of you guys when I need the extra hand! What UCA's should I go with. I hear the Light Racing ones are a little less in price right? I know you went with the TC, any major differences? ohhh and I go to school in the valley so I may see you around! You may get a thumbs down for have a yamaha sticker on your truck... Mine has a "Ride Red" sticker on it! HAHA!!!

    Is your steering still less responsive after the UCA install?

    There has been a ton of debates on here about which UCA's are better. Light Racing is cheaper, but I decided to go with the TC's because the majority of people are running them with no complaints. Where do you go to school? Pierce? WVOC? I think I may have seen you a couple times already. I remember seeing a silver taco with a ride red sticker on it..lol. If you need assistance with any installs hit me up. That'll give me a chance to get ninja on your truck and put a yami sticker on it :cool:

    My steering feels fine to me. I mean it's not like a sports car, it's a truck. I've also removed my sway bar so I don't tend to yank the wheel that often.

    I got to Cal State Northridge. You probably did pass me a few times if you see the tacoma with that sticker. I havent ran into anyone else with the same truck and sticker. What yamaha do you ride? I think UCA's will be a good investment. Now I just need to find out where I can get the best deal.

    lol

    the best way to beat a long travelled truck in a mid travel or stocker is to tow him home after you pushed him into hitting something too fast (from the passenger seat).
