    Thank you sir! Nice to see my reputation has carried over! I no longer have the 4runner but I'm still active on T4R ( and by still active I mean I'm back on there after about a 4 month hiatus.)

    I don't blame you! You were doing a lot of quality work for a bunch of T4R members iirc... Its been kinda quiet over there anyway. I've been focusing more on the Tundra now that my off-road priorities have shifted. :cheers:

    Edit: Beautiful Tundra btw!

    I can name just a handful I know off my head, but they arent anywhere near Orange County area. I installed my UCA myself, took about 6-7 hours because I took my time, breaks, eat, and of course the heatwave just kept slowing me down. It was a pretty easy install, except for breaking loose that upper pivot bolt and having to torque it down to 173ft lb kind of sucks without help to hold the nut. Then went in for alignment the next day at my brother's workplace.

    also if you gonna adjust or install new coilovers at the same time, get that tundra lean corrected on the coilover before putting it back :) it's easier that way and less trips to the alignment shop.

    Totally agree with this! All those time worrying about spring compressors not fitting and not wanting to take out the coilovers to take to a shop and adjust was a headache until I installed the UCA and found out it was easy as cake cutting to adjust the coilover collars with the UCA and spindle disconnected. No spring compressor needed or gambling with tie downs!

    ball park. my driver side was 3/4 to an inch lower than passenger side. add more turns on that side. in my case i have 8 threads visible passenger side ( stock King oem) and now 13 on the driver side to correct for lean. YMMV

    That or coilover shims from coachbuilders will work also.

    I like to add pre load to my coilover instead of adding small spacers on top of it.
