    I wish these were an option back when I bought the All Pros.. No complaints but probably would have gone a different route.

    I just picked up my Tundra from the dealership, and I almost teared up with how beautiful she looks :bananadance:will put center caps on the wheels manana.

    This is what we got for alignment figures, would appreciate if some of you suspension gurus would chime in.

    Am very close to the front fender liner, but didn’t look close to the cab mount at all. Will trim and push the liner forward over the next few days.

    Those results were pretty similar to mine. Aftermarket UCA's can improve on that. You want them. So do I. Only a matter of time and $$$....:thumbsup: Truck looks nice and all Zach... but did you get any Taco Johns'. I'm hungry:hungry:

    Went to Cabelas today and had Firehouse Subs for ya Matt :thumbsup: I’ll likely get Camburg uniballs sometime next year, unless I can be convinced to do TC’s or MCM’s.

    Firehouse works for me. Great subs. I'm going with the SPC's. They are made in Longmont.

    Looks good @zcarpenter92 !!
    Good choice in wheels :p
    This alignment numbers are NOt acceptable. I was able to get good numbers with stock arms. That alignment tech did not know what he was doing. Go to someone that knows alignments on lifted tundras.

    Here is my alignment sheet on stock uca and I’m at about 3” if lift on my coilivers. As you can see I’m all in the green. I may turn it down a bit as the ride is just a tad bit on the firm side on the streets.

    What’s the benefit of either over Camburgs? I know the TC’s have a stainless steel ball, but haven’t been able to glean much on MCM’s besides the basics.

    Thanks buddy! Just trying to live up to the reputation of CO Tundras.

    Thanks Joon!

    That’s a relief ha. I figured we were all good with everything in the green, but curious if there was a nuance or two that maybe I missed.

    Thanks Sean! We’ll have to do some wheeling once it warms up, loving the pics in your build.

    Thanks Chris!

    Zach, you have a lot of really great guys in CO that totally like you and are ecstatic that you finally got the look you love!!! And we couldn’t agree more....that thing’s looking super dope with the lift, wheels, and tires. It’s time for you to take that thing where it wants to go :transformer:

    Well I’m glad to be a part of the group, couldn’t have made the first step without all of you guys’ help. She’s been whispering to me ever since I picked er up, something like “wheel me Zach. Wheel me.”

    @zcarpenter92 so you got 3” of lift out of your radflos out of the box? If so that’s wierd cus I had to crank mine up to get 3”. I kind want to crank it down some as the ride is a little firm for my taste on the streets. On the highway they are great though. How you liking the ride?

    What tire and size you running? Rub on front is easy fix. Move the liner forward. Everyone w a lift and bigger tires prettt much have to do that.

    Yeah, before the alignment I had 2.93” on the drivers side and 3.06” on the passenger side w/o any adjustment. May up the drivers side just a hair to compensate for Yota lean.

    I’m running 295/70-18 Ridge Grapplers. I picked the truck up when it was dark, so I didn’t get a great look as to rubbing but the tires are very close to the liner. I couldn’t hear em on the highway so they may not actually be rubbing, i’ll get a better look when it’s light out. Did you pull the bolt and drill a new hole further up the bumper, or just massage it with a heat gun?

    I like that tire. Just wish it was m+s rated. Let me know how it fits. I’m planning to upsize to a 295 soon.

    On 3 rd gen I had to trim a relocate 1 screw hole. I believe the 2nd gens are easier.
