    Rust, lots of rust
    Also, if I drop my truck back down to stock height with spindles, my alignment issue will get worse. That's why I'm trying to figure this all out, because I want to drop the truck back down.

    It shouldn't I have friends that have them with TC UCAs and align fine. Did you go out and watch the tech as he tried to align it? Because a lot of the time at some shops the techs are not the brightest or lazy. I noticed this at Firestone. Now the small mom and pop shop I go to for alignments lets be go in the back with them as they align it.

    Yes I did actually, I go to the alignment place so much that they know me now and let me back and watch. I thought the same thing, I know people that have TC uppers and spindles and align just fine. But I called Total Chaos directly and they told me it wouldn't work. I hand no idea what to do now but put the stock uppers back on, sell the TC uppers, and buy the TC heimed uppers.

    Anyone know how tight to make these nuts? I tightened them quite a bit and could keep going. I didn't want to over tighten though
