    I know the place I go to knows them. Van Meter Auto right where I live in Mantua NJ. Not sure where you are and aren't sure what "tristate" your talking about. For me it's PA, NJ, and DE. I am VERY picky about mechanics but these guys have done near flawless work and when there was issues, they made it right every time no charge. I think they setup the SPC I had on my 4Runner. I can't remember. But I know their alignment guy knows his stuff. I have to say though, any REAL alignment guy could easily adjust the UCAs, especially if you handed them the instructions (just to know where to set the caster eccentric) the camber setting is self explanatory.

    Wanted to check in to see people settings, I did mine about a year
    ago

    For my set up, I have a 2020 SR5 4 x 4
    Billstein 6112 2.5 lift
    Billstein 5160 add a leaf and overload
    285 75 16 on stock wheels with a 1 inch bora spacer

    for the SPC control arms I have it at setting c (SPC logo, facing the tire)
    And for the camber adjustment, bolt maxed towards the tire

    I was able to get 3.7 castor on the left side and 4 castor on the right.

    absolutely no rubbing on road off-road, full lock

    My question is, when do you fill zert fitting? Does anyone else get grease coming out of boot?

    That's pretty close to my desired setup, do you have a CMC done or no?

    Mine are on position C as well and working out good for rubbing. I'm not sure on greasing. My original SPC ball joints lasted less than 40k mi mostly on road use... I was denied warranty and had to buy new ball joints. If these ones don't last longer I will switch to other uppers. Check your ballpoints for excessive play often. a failure could be catastrophic. I'm glad I caught mine in time.
