    Just to add to that, not sure what the prices are from those places, but headstrong offroad has a good price for the UCAs, i think they are 375 shipped.

    Heres some info on what MAY need to be trimmed to fit 285s.

    There are alot of factors tho, wheel/tire width and backspacing, amout of lift (for normal driving) alignment numbers, how hard you wheel the truck. For normal driving you most likely will have to trim some plastic at least.

    Hers is my 09. This is with the Toytec Ultimate lift kit which has an adjustable front coil over which you can adjust up to 3.5". I did use the Light racing upper control arms and the wheels were Moto Metal 955 in a 17x9 with 4.5"back spacing and I was running 285-70-17 Mickey Thompsons. I had to trim VERY little originally. Just some of the inside fender lining. I loved the ride. The only thing I would caution you on, since you have a 4x4 like me is to be careful if you adjust them to their highest setting because it can mess up the angle on your CV boots causing them to tear. I have since sold this truck and just purchased a 2012 4x4 double cab. I plan on doing this exact build again on my new truck since I was so happy with it. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

    You stand corrected, best LR UCA group buy put on by these guys.

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/gr...light-racing-upper-control-arm-group-buy.html

    Shoot they sell them for the price the two you mentioned do GB pricing for. Customer service is A+, based on feedback from GB.

    Just throwing this out there :p

    Someone already mentioned them here though.

    Headstrong Offroad sells them for the same price as Fat Bob's Garage and Metaltech's GB pricing was still cheaper :confused:

    Not doubting they are a good company, but I expected to see like blowout pricing on their site.

    ^ i think i got my LR UCAs for 355 shipped from the headstrong group buy. Im not sure the prices on the other group buys but im sure it wasnt much of a difference.
