SPC Upper Control Arms?

So they will definitely help with the positive camber as well correct?

 

You don't want any camber on these trucks. They should target 0 and that's easy to achieve with the SPC's.

 

Thank you again

 

ok!

your tires are a factor for driveability for sure and that's a second part of the discussion.

simply put, more caster stretches things out a bit and eases turning and weight shifting, steering feel at speed. more caster is better as speeds increase generally. less caster has you feeling more on top of the front axle which creates a more urgent steering feel and is better for lower speed and commuting vehicles where you want the front weighted well at low speed for clear low speed control and maneuverability. going 2deg to 4deg is a pretty big change in drive feel and steering response on the highway. it will feel more stable and give you a clearer on-center feel and initial turn-in.

if you're in AT tires then go for zero camber.

I'm neurotic about my alignments and literally modded my suspension around my target caster numbers, not kidding. so I've put all my efforts into a clean perfect setup.
toe 0.02 even both sides
camber 0.0 both sides
caster currently 4.6 both sides not a tenth off, exactly even, that was the mission. it was worth all the effort, and is every single drive.

 

These numbers you achieved with SPC’s correct?

 

yes, and i have had both the older tube style SPCs and now the new forged ones with xAxis bushings.

 

Cool bro thank you so much. I super stoked to dial the truck in. I wrote down these numbers for when I go next week. Dude that is doing the install works on four-wheel-drive’s all the time so I’m sure he knows about these I’ll definitely post pics next week

 

good luck. when it's dialed in these trucks are a dream to drive. i really enjoy the chassis balance and tight direct Toyota hydraulic steering. i personally find it worth every effort to get right.

 

I went with the SPCs to limit the amnount of chopping / heat molding I would have to do with my lift and tire size (3", 287/70/17). I called around to about 5 offroad and alignment shops before I talked to someone who sounded like they were really comfortable playing around with them. So that might be a consideration depending on where you live.

 

I have a shop I know the dudes. They are good with Toyota’s etc. Definitely stoked on getting these. Should’ve got these when I put my Bilsteins on! Oh well learning here. Watched some videos on these they are hopefully going to do the trick.

 

If you've got a shop you trust, go for it! Install was easy - I did it with a buddy who was fairly knowledgeable. Hardest part was popping the old arm out of the joint. I am very pleased with them.

 

spc’s installed wow what a difference. Super stoked

 

...put some anti-seize on the ball joint stud.


(You can thank me later.)

 

looks good! liking the drive?

 

Yes bro what a difference. Really liking it. Should’ve upgraded when I did lift but live and learn. Super stoked on set up now. Thanks for your help really appreciate it.

 

awesome, happy to share, such a great truck to drive when it's set up well.

 

Cant believe how much of a difference these made for me as well. Im running slightly lower caster numbers at 3.8 but Holy hwy driving is wonderful

 

Hell Yeah

 

Any updates on how these SPC's are holding up?

 

What position are you putting the control arms to get the higher caster and still be able to get camber correct?
