    Preparing to install SPC UCAs on my 2014 Tundra 4x4.

    I have toytec aluma 2.5 coilovers on the front set at about 3" of lift. Have Toytec lift shackles in the back at around 1.5" of lift. With the stock UCA that I currently have, I could only get about 2.3 Caster on both sides with camber at 0.5.

    When I install the SPCs, I'm planning to set them at caster setting "C". I'll then drive it over for an alignment. I see some people saying to set it at setting "D", but that doesn't seem right. What have you guys done when installing?

    Thank you in advance!!

    Why does D not seem right but C does?

    Why not just have the alignment shop deal with it?

    The C setting adds some more caster which is preferred. D would seem to set things at a low caster setting.

    Might as well install it at a good setting and let them make fine adjustments. All I was thinking….

    Set it at D and pull the wheel all the way out towards you. Worked like a charm for myself and several others.

    Alot of alignment shops are not familiar with adjustable ball joints. I set mine at D from the advice of others on here but took the installation sheet with me just in case.
