    Hi, I just lifted my 2018 4Runner Limited with the Daystar 2.5”/1.5” spacer kit. I also put on 275/55R20 Cooper Discoverer A/T3’s. I had the slightest bit of a rub in reverse full lock on the drivers side, which I took care of by pushing the fender liner forward. I had the alignment done yesterday. The tech worked on it for 3 hours and said that was the best he could do. I was not charged for it because they didn’t get it all in specs. It drives fine, even on the interstate. The steering wheel is straight on. The toe is good. I would like a little more caster but that spec isn’t hurting anything since it’s driving straight and I eliminated the tiny rub. My only concern is the camber. I don’t want uneven tire wear. Should I bite the bullet, purchase UCA’s and get it re-aligned or save the money and keep an eye on the tire wear as long as it’s driving good? I really do no off-roading anymore. I appreciate all of your input. Thanks!

    I would get new UCAs i use to run a spacer lift and had a slight miss align but drove pretty good. Then i went with a coil adjustable lift and added new UCAs not only is my alignment perfect but the ride and control is a million times better.

    I went ahead and ordered some of the SPC uca’s last night. I had them on my 2010 4Runner I just traded in with the 3” Toytec Lift and had no issues at all. I am starting to notice the drive isn’t the best at higher speeds. They should be in on Tuesday, so hopefully get the alignment completed on Wednesday. Thanks for all of your responses!!
