    I have a 2016 Tacoma 2wd Sr5 with a 3 inch spacer leveling kit in the front and a block in the back. I also have KSP UCAs which claim to fix angles for 2-4 inch lift. After several alignments (and even trying it myself), I still have visible, tire wearing, camber. Any tips?
    My camber is right around 1 degree on either side. When I tried to do it myself, I ended up maxing out the can bolts and messing up my caster and toe. When I took it to the alignment shop to fix my mistakes, they put it back to how it was before, but didn’t touch my cam bolts. I’m confused on so many levels and also frustrated.

    Post a pic of your actual alignment specs. Also once your tire starts wearing funny it will continue to even after and alignment change.

    I have KSP UCAs and that did absolutely nothing as far as specs go.

    You need a new alignment tech. With any aftermarket uca they should be able to get you more caster and less camber. I typically aim for a little higher toe in numbers since you are going to be toe’d out while driving. You should be able to get closer to 0 degrees camber and raise caster to make it drive better. Less camber and some additional tow should help with tire wear. I would ask for 0 camber, max caster and .04 - .06 toe

    This ^. The alignment tech must be an idiot. I agree, 3-4* caster, 0 camber .04.-.06 toe.

    I agree. I just looked under my truck and the cam bolts aren’t even changed. Looks like the alignment shop lived up to their “toe and go” name. The only thing changed was toe. Should I go back and tell them that I need camber and caster adjusted also?
