    Good to know, thx. But after the crap I went through and multiple installs I’m staying away from SPC.

    Was going to post a thread about UCA and found this one. I have a 19 with 5100’s all the way up as well as 1” block in the back and have nothing but trouble with alignment. My toe is out and wearing the outer edge only and was finally told I need aftermarket UCA’s to handle the lift. Was about to get SPC’s but found the JBA and going with them as well. Really hope this fixed my issues as I don’t want to have to buy new $380 tires on my 1 year old truck.

    I actually bought Coach Builder Steering Kit. I think this will help my toe alignment issue better then UCAs. Just waiting to receive them and slap them on. I’ll review once done

    So I got the CB steering kit installed and alignment is way better. Camber is at +3, shop couldn’t get to 2 but it’s better then the +6 I had. Eye ball test shows tires look like || instead of \ /

    Time will tell if it wears even. But shop even said those kits are beefy compared to OEM and you get more travel.

    Just got my JBAs in yesterday. I too have alignment issues with my 275s and level quite frequently, hoping these will fix that and produce a smoother ride.

    First post needs a hearty welcome... Welcome Ryan.
    I actually procured the same JBA's prior to my lift kit, so I wouldn't have any issues with alignment... Both UCA and Toytec matched that prediction to the T... No issues at all and I'm running Wildpeaks 295.70/18s...Good luck and post pics soon.

    show me your front wheels. I bet there’s plenty of camber there.
