    Just wanted to come back and update my complaint: Fixed.

    Installed new JBA Upper Control Arms and alignment. Apparently you may not "need" UCAs with a 3/2 lift, but in my case it was definitely on the limit and these helped.

    Hey would you happen to have your alignment numbers from your shaking before you did the control arms? I am having issues with mine shaking and I have the ReadyLift 3/2. I am wondering if I'm in the same boat as you with being on the limit. I will scan and post my alignment sheet tonight.

    It’s still pulling to the right ever so slightly. I’m taking it back tomorrow morning to have them do a small adjustment. But all in all, huge difference and I am completely satisfied.

    Thanks. This is the before and after with the UCAs installed?

    I believe those before numbers are right after the install of the new upper control arms, and they are not reflective of the stock upper control arms. I cannot answer that with certainty.

    I will say this, with the stock UCAs the truck drove straight it just felt off, and had a shake. On my Tacoma, I had a similar issue with the same Ready Lift 3/2 kit. I was told similar to the Tundra that I did not need upper control arms, that was complete false. Once I put the UCAs on the Tacoma, it was night and day. Reasoning for explaining all of this...when you hit 3in front lift, you need UCAs.

    Updated alignment specs: went back today to adjust the slight sway to the right. All fixed, rides great!

    I have a 2007 regular cab, short bed, that does the same thing -- shimmies at 60-65 mph and then smooths out at 70. The truck is lowered and the wheels have been balanced several times. The alignment was done after the suspension work was completed.

    Have you been able to solve it?

    I have a 19 TRD Sport, ever since i got my truck new it had that steering wheel shake but not to bad. My stock tires only lasted about 9,000 miles, but after i replaced them, its gotten worse, i have 46,000 miles on it and still haven't found the problem and on my fourth set of wheels now.

    I love the truck, but i am really close to trade it in.
