Yes, I used stock springs. I also like the higher ride and these just look good lifted! Only reason I did the spacers was afraid it’d be too much preload at 2.5” and would ride very rough. Also the spacers are a tad easier to remove vs moving the clip position. My issue was the 2wd vs 4wd...

Thanks, Sweet looking 4Runner! Turned out nice! Maybe try an OME 10mm trim packer spacer on your drivers side only rear coil to remedy the lean….the 2883’s should be very close to 1/2” less lift vs the 2884’s so you’ll be very close to level…. Saturday I installed the front 5100’s third notch...

Did you end up going back to factory coils? I’m about to install 5100’s and wheelers t-13 rear coils (1.5” lift) on my wife’s 2022 sr5 2wd. I was trying to keep the front center hub to fender measurement around 21.5” to 22”. Stock, I’m now at 19”. 22” would be a 3” lift from stock. So trying...

I purchased mine through Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0097M85AE/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 These fit well and are high and tight on the rocker panels. The only negative on these is that you can brush your leg on the running board when exiting possibly getting dirt on your...

YouTube YouTube ^This works great!... 4Runner suspension is identical to the Tacoma. No spring compressor needed.

Hey mscot, I really don’t think going higher in caster (4.5-5) is going to affect your drivetrain nor have effects on road and off road driving....especially with 2.25” lift. The tech may not be factoring in that your JBA’s moved the upper ball joint towards the rear. It’s definitely worth...

Yes go higher on the caster if it’s not maxed out already. Go as high as you need to clear the body mount if possible. Higher caster should have no negative effects as long as you get the camber and toe in spec. Lifting more will not help as when you compress the suspension it’ll still...

The JBA’s are built with an added ~2* caster....so you were at +1.9* with stock uca’s then the JBA’s added ~2*....that’s where you got the increase on the “before” reading. Edit... Daikon beat me to it ����

Get another alignment and specify higher Caster using the lower control arm eccentrics. You can go a lot higher than 3.5....even 5+ is fine if you’re lifted. The aftermarket uca’s that add caster actually move the wheel back in the wheel well a tad. So, you want to add caster using the lower...

Have you tried adjusting (maxing out the caster) using your eccentrics on your lower control arms? Your spc uca’s add caster with the adjustable ball joint but that added caster does move the wheel “back” in the wheel well a tad. Maxing out your caster via the lower control arms may bring your...

Your welcome! The JBAs have a big following and they look well made! In the long run, I believe you’ll be happy with it. The added caster makes a big difference when on the highway. Drives so much better. Don’t be afraid to go 4+ on the caster.

That Dobinsons Coil is supposed to give you 3” lift. It is also listed as “light load” which is what you say you’d like. The front bilstein 5100 with this Dobinsons coil installed (at lowest clip level) should give you ~3” of lift. Even though the actual extended measurement of the 5100 with and...

Since you just got an alignment with the new tires, that may be the first thing to check. They may have aligned it to “factory spec” with a lot less caster than you had from your previous alignment. I wouldn’t think the Michelin’s would cause issues with wandering at highway speed....but who...

You need to find out your alignment numbers... Lifted t4r’s drive a lot better at speed (less wandering) with higher Caster (+2.5 or preferably higher). Camber and toe can be kept within factory spec. I have +4.2 caster on my t4r that’s lifted 2.5” up front. No wandering and very stable even...
