Eibach lif kit 2.75/ 1” upper control arm/ caster?

[K9trainer]

I’m getting ready to have the Eibach lift kit installed on my 2015 TEP W/KDSS,
For those of you who have this lift kit, Eibach recommends that after market upper control arms are not need. My question to you all that run this Eibach lift,

1. With stock upper control arms what Caster are you able to achieve with the rest of you alignment in spec?
2. How many of you felt this lift kit required aftermarket upper control arms? And why?
3. What upper control arm did you go with?

Thanks for your help

I've got a 2018 SR5 prem, TRD rims, stocksize wildpeaks, and the Eibach kit. I have noticed no degradation in the handling, in fact after the Eibach kit was installed the handling improved greatly. Around town no issues, highway driving no issues, 2 road trips (400 miles and 1400 miles) no issues, and off road in Moab (the fairly easy stuff) again no issues. I too was debating UCAs but for now I'm thinking I will hold out. If my balljoints gave out, then I'd defiantly get new UCAs.

What kind of alignment numbers are acceptable with a lift?

I recently bought a 2015 4runner Trail Premium w/KDSS and had the eibach springs installed front and rear paired with the bilsteins all around and currently running 285/70/17s. I did not install UCAs and the picture below shows the alignment specs, I am not sure really how to interpret this but I decided to go ahead and have UCAs installed. After a lot of research and an internal struggle on what to choose I decided on the camburg ball joint UCAs and having them installed next Tuesday. Right now the 4runner without the UCAs drive perfectly fine so I am curious to see what the difference will be once they are installed.

Also was having difficulty uploading the picture of the alignment so let me know if you cannot view it. This forum is definitely much harder to navigate than the other one.

^ Pictures still not working.

The forum is doing "STRANGE" things with pictures. When attaching the pics you can see the picture in the post, but when you save the post, exit an go back in, they appear as attached images.

my guess (after 30 years in IT) is there was a change to the forum control software.
