SPC UCA alignment (1 Viewer)

[austin4289]

Does anyone have an alignment spec for the SPC UCAs? I’ve got a 2005 lx470 with a 2 inch Ironman lift. I can’t seem to find a solid alignment through the forum.

Are you doing the alignment yourself? My impression from what I've read with the aftermarket UCAs is that they're designed to get you back within factory alignment specs when lifted, so I'd expect that an experienced alignment tech could figure out how to do that. I know very little useful about doing alignments, so I can't really provide any help here.

I don't believe there is a spec but someone will correct me if that's not accurate. OEM control arms can only get so much adjustment , so when you lift a few inches up the SPC will allow for more adjustment range to allow the alignment tech to get you within factory spec

I am not. I was going to take it to a local shop and they asked me if I had any specific specs. Just didn’t know if anyone had any luck with a specific alignment

Copy that. I’ll ask the shop and see what they can do. Currently in the military and need my truck so just incase if the alignment is off or wrong, I was trying to mitigate trips on getting the alignment correct. But that’s good to know. Seems like crap out of luck

On lifted 100, I would go 4 degrees on Caster.

Thank you. Where did you find this?

Here is what mine ended up with the same lift setup and SPCs. I talked with Slee and they recommend 3-4 deg caster when lifted.

Mine.

Put the adjuster nut for 3-4 degres caster. I went with 4 and a breeze to drive on the highway. I have the older arms, which allow 0,1,2,3,4 degrees.
