    I will say that I do like the flexibility of the LR UCA's like what Fink has. I will buy those soon. $350 from fat Bob's seems like a great price too! I can tell though that I am going to have to cut the UCA bolts because there is no room for the bolt to slide out. I'll just buy 2 more from Toyota & put them in from front to back.

    When you buy these UCA's do they come with the torque specs for all the nuts & ball joint?

    PS: The spindles will give me too much lift, if not I'd go with those.

    Thanks

    Yea it was for the external speaker to hook up to the CB....at Radioshack, you get what you pay for so after a couple mud splashed, it was toast. Left the cord there just in case I opted for a new one.

    My alignment before the UCA adjustment:

    ysyse6yh_ef9a00cdd4da02a7387a41a58475bf4d7c10a310.jpg

    I'm in desperate need of the jam nuts for the tie rod ends so I don't loose my alignment.

    Fink, I don't understand why you need that. I know what a jam nut is but why would your alignment go off without that? Are you referring to the nut that the alignment tech turns in order to adjust the toe?

    It's way off because everything was apart for the new UCA and lower ball joints.

    It's the nut that holds the adjustment nut for the steering. Tech said after bouncing around offroad a little, it'll throw it off.

    Thanks, the only thing I didnt like about that dealer is they seem to have overpriced vehicles.
    but then again idk how they go about pricing them. I never worked with them the truck was just
    shipped to them. You still want to meet up before the homestead hump meet so we can pass by
    and check out the entrance see how wet it is out there?


    Thanks buddy, it is not easy finding the dc/lb in 4x4.
