    2" ish.

    No UCA, no alignment issues. 265/75/16s but there is a bit of offset on my wheels.

    Much respect for that. I read your original thread making your point several times, as I’m alignment illiterate. At least mostly. It kind of lost me, but I think that has more to do with my unintelligent side versus your delivery.

    You should link that thread when you chime in on other UCA threads to better make your point.

    Appreciate you contributing for the rest of us! :cheers:

    Jesus Christ, right?? Dude is straight obnoxious and spreading false info. Like he knows more than companies that research, design and build high performance off-road vehicles.

    Well it would be a point of view as to who is spreading "false information".
    I'm still waiting on your data to see if you have a clue about what you're talking about?? Or if all you're spouting is hearsay?? So far Crickets!!!

    Because I have a life man and going on Tacoma world and arguing back and forth with someone about alignment facts doesn’t really appeal to me. So sure, you win. But I still think you’re full of shit and you proved that on our previous thread. Once again, I love how you think you know more than these companies that build upper control arms specifically for these applications. Do you have decades under your belt doing alignments on off-road vehicles? Let alone any vehicles? Is this your profession? You sure act like it.

    We've got 5160s on hand here at Hotshot Offroad, but no 6112s since December. Our outstanding orders from Bilstein all show anticipated delivery dates from 3/8-3/30. Manufacturers tend to build in batches so I am expecting that us (as well as others) will be getting their Tacoma 6112 orders around that time.

    I’m abusing the stock 2008 UCA’s with the 6112’s set at 2” and it’s doing just fine with no issues regarding alignment. My 3rd Gen is also at 2” with spacers on stock UCA’s and those align just fine too.

    100% agree! I try and make my replies towards the OP that is asking the questions. But some reason these people seem to get offended and start calling me out about what I know to be true. I've done the R&D to actually find out "if" the path we were on was the right way to go about solving this issue.

    I found out by adding Caster we were correcting one issue and creating several others which didn't need to happen. My goal in answering the Op's question is to help him/her avoid unnecessary work on their $40K+ truck. There is a time and place to CMC but just adding 33" tires isn't one of them.

    But it also is highly dependent on the offset of the rims and the width of the rims also.

    Terrian Tamers out of Australia. They are a none adjustable style with serviceable bushings and high angle ball joint. They are ideal for 2" of lift.

    Even cats and dogs can get along when they realize they want the same things and can help each other along.

    Now I’m done with this warm n fuzzy shit. Fucking hippies.
