I have 4.2 and I like how it tracks and feels planted over stock. And you get clearance for big tires!

You're fine. I run 4.7 degrees and haven't had issues. And like @83Mule said plenty of room for 34's!

You are totally fine with that caster. I have 5.2 and 4.7 and it drives just fine. Plus like someone mentioned earlier... it gets you a little further away from the body mounts if you wanted to add larger tires in the future.

In short, you good!

I have SPC uppers and am wanting to do the same. I am afraid that when I take mine somewhere they wont know what to do with the SPC uppers.

Two shops refused Me with SPC's and ANY lift! Try a 4WheelParts. I explained that they are adjustable to return the values to stock and they looked so confused.........said they didn't know what settings to use with a lift! I walked away laughing at the state of the idiots National chains will hire. 4Wheel will do it.

OP, are your SPC UCAs ball joint set at the factory position?
I only got around 3.4 degrees of caster when set at factory from SPC.

Woops I guess I forgot to mention I have Icon tubular uniball UCAs.

Helps that the dealer I went to has in their showroom 4 Tacos, 2 Runners, and a Tundra with full OME lifts. One of the Tacos has a 6" BDS which actually looks pretty nice. Of course, they're all attached with a dealer add on sticker for $5,000 for "full custom suspension"
