    Hey guys,

    I've got a 16 cm running the best I can tell a 3/2 lift/level kit with 305/55/r20 bfg ko2s on 20x9 fuel Anza with 20 offset. I bought it with the lift and all already installed, which I usually would never do, but the kit was installed by Toyota before it was sold to the original owner so I went for it.

    Now 20k miles and 3 alignment attempts later I'm looking to make changes. They didn't upgrade the UCA's so I've got camber problems in the left front that the shops can't rig out of it. The last place I took it was an off road shop that was familiar with the issue and it's still just as bad.

    I'm already planning to go with new wheels and tires because I don't like having so much room in the wheel wells and I want to tuck the tires back in the wells to even or a touch outside instead of the 2+ inches out I have now.
    Right now the 2 options I'm looking at are, get aftermarket UCA's and while I'm at it upgrade shocks all around, or pull the kit out and go with bilstein 6112s up front to level and leave the rear factory height.

    The only offloading I do is during hunting season and it's not advanced by any means. The rest if the year I'm towing a bass boat around to fish tournaments up to 3 hrs from home. With all the highway miles I tear up I'm thinking of going to a more mild AT tire in the process.

    What do you guys think?

    Went and did some measuring of the blocks. Looks like the blocks are both 2" front and rear so it appears I've got a straight 2" lift. Ground to wheel well measures 41 in the front and 43 in the rear.
    Does this sound about right for a 2" lift and 33's?

    With 2" pucks, you have a 3" level kit.

    Without swapping out the upper control arm to a quality one like Total Chaos, you will have alignment issues.

    Dropping back down to a 2.5" lift should fix your issues. Either way it will cost about the same, but going with the new shocks the performance gain will be huge.

    The ride has me leaning towards 6112's. Plus my buddy has a trd pro running 34's on stock wheels and i really like that look of fuller wheel wells vs the wide open spaces I've got now.

    Yeah, I like that look too. I agree with @ColoradoTJ about TC UCA vs lowering to 2 1/2" lift. You should be able to get it aligned with higher quality UCA. I would keep the lift, add the 34s, and install new UCA. You got a pic of your rig? Would love to see it!

    Here's a shot of my truck. 34's were the plan either way I went. Trying to decide between 275/65/r20 or 295/70/r18. Leaning towards the 18's for a touch softer ride but 20's look so good

    34's is all I'll go due to tire choices. I don't want to run an aggressive heavy tire since I'm tearing up the highway towing.


    I might just go for new uppers and shocks and keep the wheels Then go with 275 65s to fill out the wells a little more and bring them in a little bit.

    What shocks do you guys recommend to give a smoother ride with my setup?

    One more question, if I were to pull the block lift out, and go with 6112's set at 1.9 for level, would I have any rubbing issues with the 305's on the current wheels with +20 offset? Been through a ton of fitment threads looking and I'm thinking I'd be fine but I want to make sure
