    Hello guys, I’m new here and have been using this site for years. I’m in a predicament that has made me sign up and ask a question so I’m hoping your experience and knowledge can help me out. Thanks in advance.

    I have a 2010 tundra DC and am in themiddle of upgrading my oem suspension. I purchases a prebuilt coil over of the bilstein 5100 with the OME 2612 set at the lowest clip advertised to give you 2.5 inch of lift. Iwanted to use stock UCA and thought this was a good fit and affordable for what I use my truck for. I installed the coil overs and am sitting at about 4 inch of height. The UCA is extended tires are pointing inwards, truck does not feel
    Safe to drive.

    i did purchase new UCA, but I think more has to be done in order to have this kind of liftwork. Any thought on keeping this suspension with new UCA?

    I am also thinking of having my OE springs put on the 5100 at the highest setting and call it a day and keep stock UCA.

    Any advise is appreciated. Thank you guys and happy holidays!

    your at 4" lift with that? u def need to use UCA's. i think its anything over 3" mine is right at 3", and wheels tile a little, alignment is in spec for camber and toe but to get caster right i need UCA.

    I hope you brought that to their service managers attention. Did you take it to a reputable shop?
