    21' TRD OffRoad 2" 887 OME on Bilstein 5100's. 285/70R17 General Grabbers G3 17x8.5" Icon TRD wheels (Gun metal gray) 4.75" BS
    DB Is drop brackets.

    The 6" kit is designed to keep the stock orientation. So it was like running TC UCA's on a stock truck.

    The TC's were too much.

    Hmm I am hoping after I install my 884's I wont have any issues... I didn't have any issues with the 5100's at 2.5" to get my caster and alignment corrected. I hope the extra lift doesn't throw my truck out of wack. As of right now with just the 5100's I have 0 drift etc at high speeds on the freeway.

    TC builds caster into into the UCA...in the stock orientation, that is too much caster and it is hard to align. So the LR arms don't have any caster built into them? I thought they did, or is it just not as much? Thanks

    well the lrs have to , they say for lifted offroad trucks. below is from ligthracing website on the 05+ tacoma a arms.

    Tacoma's, FJ's, and 4Runner's run out of factory adjustment when you install lift kits. With our patent pending design this upper control arm provides an additional ±2° of caster and 0° to +5° of camber change. Built with an OE style ball joint and bushings, this arm is designed to correct alignment angles while maintaining factory ride quality. The hybrid tubular and forged steel design is tough enough to race - on or off-road. These remove and replace arms are available in pairs for lifted and off-road applications or individual left and right arms if just one corner needs adjustment.
