Lifted slightly but a couple ?s.

Lifted my truck with 5100s front on 4th setting 1.5in w/stock spring and rear with Icon RXT on smallest setting 1.875in. Love the way it looks and rides but I have 2 questions. Truck is just for my taste in looks. I drive strictly on the street and barely do that. 14k miles since2018.

1) From my research, I do not need upgraded UCAs in front unless you lift 2+in. I know tacos run +camber in the front stock. Mine are at 1.1 degrees. Little high but within spec. I should be able to dial some of that out with my set-up correct?

2) I never hear about getting longer e-brake cables. I just reattached mine using the stock bracket on the new leaf spring. What do y’all do? Let it hang loose?

 

I just installed 6112s in front @1.4" or so (9/7 clips) w. 5160 rear @ stock height. I went in for an alignment and first time they did it they didn't want to drop the aftermarket skid plate for fear of breaking hardware. They said "it all lined up green" - which I never saw a print out of (shame on me)...and I got it home and still had the same whacky positive camber as when I brought it in. So I brought it back. They ended up getting it to .5 and it looks as close to 0 as I'm going to get from that place.

Interested in the answer for the second question - I'll likely go to something to bump me up in the rear soon.

 

1. Yes, that is what I have heard as well. I've got 6112s at the 2.5" setting and the alignment can still come into the green on caster, camber and toe. I may do the arms someday, but I have to find the right ones at the right price.

2. I have the same leaf springs on the medium setting, same solution here.

Same here, 2018 TRD with 28k miles also a long bed, 5100 on the top setting, one in rear block on 285s. I have stock upper control arms and a great alignment so to answer your question I think your good. Nice looking Tacoma!!!

 

2" up front, 1" block in the rear, everything else stock. I don't remember the camber setting after the alignment, but all's been honky dory...

 

No need for UCA's at your level. Camber should be a little positive if you aren't offroading but 1.1 might cause a little excessive wear on the tires. Best to get it closer to ideal for straight driving and cornering combined. Don't worry too much about the e-brake cable. it will self locate the stamped metal guide if it needs a little more room. Again, if you aren't fully flexing the rear when offroading, you should be just fine. If a shop uses a lift to rotate the tires, it will exercise the suspension...otherwise doing it yourself you can keep the rear suspension at ride height when doing a rotation and not worry about it at all.

 

I appreciate all the responses fellas!!! I'll get some camber dialed out and collect more miles.
