The damage is done!

Sounds like you'll be good to go.

Yeah, the spacer came in the kit I bought. I never really noticed a huge lean prior. But it's on there anyway

 

Why is this needed? For all trucks or just lifted trucks?

 

looks good I would recommend adding the pics to the first page =)

 

It replaces the weaker needle bearing with a more robust clamshell bushing. Failure of the needle bearing can occur in stock trucks and can be expedited in lifted trucks.

Since you have the front end disassembled during the lift install it makes sense to install the beefier part instead of having to go back later and disassemble everything to find out your needle bearing has now failed.

If it fails in a stock truck Toyota will replace it with the same weak needle bearing so there is potential for it to fail again.... or you can just pony up for the better bushing for $60.

 

Nice

 

@CaliRaisedLed makes a great kit

Think I am going to go the same route on my SR5, just waiting for my factory tires to wear out but your setup is what I Have been looking at for awhile, minus the uca's..and the same tires on my factory rims since I really like them..looks great man..

 

Looks GREAT but I need a roof rack and a lift/tires first!

 

Thanks man! You won't be disappointed with it

 

I am not 100% thrilled with my tire stance. It's trivial, but it bothers my that the tires sit in from the factory fender flare. Can I make adjustments without rubbing? Small spacers? Little wider tire? @smitty99 did you encounter the same issue? Was it even an issue for you?

 

Wheel spacers or a wider tire. The stance does not bother me. I don't want rocks, mud and sand shooting up along the sides of my truck. Been there done that on previous vehicles.

 

Looks good
