    So last year I got the Readylift kit on my 2010 tacoma mall crawler. Yea I know, should have went with 5100. But the ready lift kit is okay for just normal driving. Hardly felt a difference if not better. Anyways I started to hear a clunk, almost if my shocks were going out every time I went over a speed bump. I thought this can't be right? Only have 19k on the dam truck. Well to make this long story short it was one of the bolts on the lower control arm. So I got an alignment a couple a month ago due to new tires and rim but it didn't make that clunk up until last week. The bolts went loose I guess due to half as alignment. I started to hate Toyota for a minute due to all the forum I was reading about people having problem after a three inch lift. Well thank goodness I found the problem. Worst thing about this whole story is my brother did my alignment, he works at the Toyota dealership.
