Looks like from the above post you'll be fine with the stock UCA. If you are interested in new ones there is a great deal going on $375 with free shipping instead of $450 plus shipping. I just ordered some myself as well as a few other T4R members

thanks guys, this forum has been a life saver, coming from big ford Super Dutys all my life knowing everything about them, then learning so much about my new 4runner just by this forum. I have one more question did you have any trouble with aligning with your stock UCAs (4shorerunner) i have 2.5 inch spacer toytec, i will install dont know if this will make a difference in the diffuclty to align my UCAs???

I have stock UCAs on a 2.5/1.5 lift. Dealer did not say they had any issues, but then again I do see a bit of positive camber. Not enough to worry, but it is there.

I am also running stock UCA's and 285/70/17's with Bilstein 5100's all around, front at 2.5" and rear springs at 2". After install had alignment done at firestone and they did say everything was way out but were able to get all within spec. I had rub in the front but after liner mod it all went away. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/87546-will-285s-fit-black-wheel-question.html#post759604

Curious to whether you received a print out of the alignment showing the readings from Firestone or just took their word for it?
I don't think it's even possible to get the caster and/or the camber within specs with a 2.5" lift and oem UCA's.At least I've never seen it on paper or a copy of it.

Here are the specs from the repair manual. And a pic of my printout from Firestone. You are correct in the fact that my caster is slightly out by .2 on both sides but my camber is within specs(Right side is close). I initially saw that using Firestones listed specs my caster was within but after comparing it to the RM I see that it is slightly out. Looks like UCA's might be in my future, but seeing as I don't have stability issues or rubbing then I don't have it on my immediate list. Caster doesn't cause tire wear so if I start to rub and cant fix it with mods or another alignment then I will get new UCA's.
