    Why? Because the install got buggered?

    Nope. It just happens to a lot of Tacomas the second you put aftermarket rims on. With or without lift, the rear passenger wheel sticks out about an inch or less more than the drivers side. Some say it's because the bed is misaligned and are able to fix it by loosening bed bolts and repositioning a half inch or so

    Well that doesn't have anything to do with adding aftermarket wheels.

    i realize that. lol the only thing i can think of is that it is off centered from the factory but you don't realize it because both wheels are under the fenders.

    I've never heard of this so I'm genuinely curious. Have people been posting up numbers of the discrepancies and I've been missing them or is this anecdotal?

    Anyone have problems with a clicking sound after install? I hear it a lot when braking but it is not limited to that. I don't believe it is my UCA's hitting my coils and I removed the sway bar so it's not that.

    I get mine when I hit pot holes or big bumps under 20mph. Also sometimes when I brake or turn. Drives me absolutely crazy as it sounds like my truck is gonna fall apart.

    Video?

    I'm getting a clicking sound as well when my front end is going over small bumps at low speeds...I thought it was my sway bar links because I had a hard time with those during install being rusted. I ordered new links so I was going to wait and see if that fixes the problem, but everyday I hear the sound it makes more and more uncomfortable.

    I'll try and get one with my phone. If not I'll use my buddys go pro this weekend.

    I don't have a sway bar so I know that's not my problem.

    I also just got my truck back from the frame replacement the day before I put my lift on, so it could be something related to that also.

    Nice thread! I'm looking at getting rid of my leveling kit and installing the Bilstein 5100 w/ dakers. There is no option for the 886's…so I am looking for about 3'' total lift, do I go with the 885's or 887's?? Also any real difference b/w the Camburg vs. TC UCA's??
