Yikes need help

Hello, an issue has been found with my lift I need to get some aftermarket control arms to restore some normal geometry for my lift need some suggestions ASAP!!! Not super expensive but not cheap here are some pictures of my current issue my ball joint are getting stuck under the spring of my strut. Any other fixes or solutions are greatly appreciated!

 

Holy shit. What size lift do you have?

 

Quite the angle of the dangle isn’t it?!

 

Well long story short it’s only a 2.5” rough country puck and the struts are new but supposed to be like one.

 

Never seen that before.

Well here are some UCA brands:
*Camburg
*JBA
*Total Chaos
*Freedom Offroad
*SPC

I have Protune ones. They’re the cheapest and work fine, but I don’t think it’s socially acceptable around these parts.

 

Thanks! Will look into them

 

Do you have a pic looking inside the wheel well from outside, looking at the uca?

 

TBH something is kinda fishy because I’ve seen in person people running 3 inch lifts with stock arms.

 

We need pics, like lots of pics…….

 

I think he lifted his front end with a jack and the spindles got hung up in the coils.

 

This is, what, the 3rd Rough Country lift disaster I've seen on a 1st Gen Tundra in less than 12 6 3 months?

Why do people keep buying this Rough Country garbage?

 

The weird thing is that when the truck is driving and say I’m stopped at a red light or stop sign it’s fine but as soon as I hit a bump or park in my driveway which is on a slant and you need to go over a curb to get on it the upper ball joint gets stuck on the strut

 

Possible, yeah, but I’ve had the same lift and stock arm on my truck before and never encountered this before. Even when you jack it up, when the UCA starts sagging down, it would still maintain good clearance.

 

I’m not sure how the issue became but is my only solution to buy upper control arms?

 

Send us some pictures please

 

I think you just need to sell the truck at this point.

 

No, we need more pictures. Don’t jump to conclusions.

 

Shifty How in the hell does that have anything to do with buying new upper control arms?

 

I will post more pictures tomorrow when I have sunlight and can really get a good look at everything.

 

Does anybody know if wheel spacers could cause this issue to occur? I don’t see how it could but just asking.

 

Is that with your truck on the ground, or up on jack stands?

No it isn't from wheel spacers

 

My truck is currently sitting on the ground not up on jackstands.

 

Shifty it has nothing to do with the rough country kit it’s either a bad alignment or A stock suspension component is bad and needs to be addressed and replaced or fixed

 

What kind of coilovers do you have?

 

Well then, you've got serious trouble. We need more pics, not much else will help.

I ran 4" of lift with stock upper arms for several months, the arms aren't going to fit that. Something else is wrong. How long ago did you install that kit?

 

They are Supposed to be the OEM replacement they were bought at auto zone and they are by a brand called duralast.

 

I bought a truck just a few months ago with same lift and noticed same problem when I did the brakes. I bought new smaller tires and yanked the lift off. It was tearing up ball joints, outer tie rods, and the sway bar links. Lifts look nice, but not worth the wear.

 

Did you swap the passenger and drivers side?

 

You mean you have a puck on top and your struts are supposed to give lift too? If yes,, then ditch the pucks.

 

It was installed about a month and a half ago by supposedly a reputable shop but however I will take it back in Tuesday and have the issue addressed and if it is unable to be fixed which it should be able to then I will go from there.
