    650# or 700# 14" Springs. Fox is not the problem here and doesn't make the springs, mine are Eibach. This is a simple preload problem as you may have discovered. If you want a certain lift, make sure you have the properly weighted spring to start with. If you put it too much preload to lift the front, it will drive like shit.

    One degree makes a big difference, yes. 3 to 4 degrees is a good target range for a 3" lifted Tacoma. The problem is that caster and camber are adjusted with same cams. Getting the caster right often means there is no room to get the camber back right. That is where the adjustments on the UCA come in. There is a separate camber adjustment, and a 3 position adjuster for the caster on the SPC unit. Your alignment guy needs to understand this. He will most likely need to pull the top camber adjustment all the way out (maximum positive setting) to get it all right. There are three settings on the SPC caster adjustment that represent added caster. The final caster is set on the factory alignment cams on the LCAs. The only way to know what you have is to get on the rack. Camber should be zero unless you want a bit of offset to correct the pull from road crown. In that case +.02 to +.03 degrees of additional camber on the LEFT side will do that.
