Correct me if I’m wrong but I though that moving the ball joint back not foward ie. setting A would gain more clearance by pushing the bj back and tilting the spindle back than f which pushes the bj foward and tilts the spindle foward?
It really depends on your setup. If you have an aftermarket bumper then you have a lot of room in the front to play with, that is why we push the caster forward to make more room in the rear. I hope that makes sense.
@@Runnin4Tacos sorta, I just thought you adjusted it the other way. I have a c4 overland bumper, some sliders and spc, running 315/75r16. Wheel are stock off-road with a spacer, sitting at about -25. Looking to gain more clearance, im on the C setting now and it’s rubbing a bunch. I’ll try going the other way with the bj!
I have 285/70/17s on my Tacoma with a 3 inch lift. The only place/ time it rubs is on the UCA when I go up a curb or something similar. Would the SPC UCA fix that problem? Thanks!
Hey i have these spc control arms on my 2016 tacoma and im having a problem with squeaking ! How can i fix that ? Do you have any similar problem? Let me know . Thanx
I have the same problem, i bought it 10 months ago and it makes a squeaking sound. I found where the problem was Which is the bushings holding the spc control arm. Sometimes water gets in there and washes the grease out, you might have to take them out and grease it or put a grease fitting. You welcome
Hey guys can I ask what final settings your UCAs are at and also what caster readings do you have? I’m trying to clear 285/70/17 with a 3” lift but still keep good drivability. Meaning no wandering front end Thanks
I put my caster to f. Ended up with 0.3 left and 0.6 right. After alignment I have very sensitive steering and now have vibration at highway speeds. Any idea or tips on how to solve my issue? Sure wish you guys were closer to me haven't had any luck in Washington state.
@@beendip13 you want F and to have your caster 2.8 right and 2.3 left. Camber at 0 to -.3 and the rest 0. If you still have shaking steering wheel it’s a tire balance issue
@@kylestokley91 alright I'll give them those numbers I'm going in Saturday to get the alignment redialed. I got the balancing check. But I'm thinking it will be alignment because of the numbers I have for caster which are almost zeroed out for the F setting on the ucas. Started getting that vibration after my recent alignment.
Interesting, I have 285's and TC UCA's and my caster is super far back. Did I understand correctly that the TC control arms won't allow for the wheel to be pushed forward?
@@nebraskatacoma4468 it will, that's how the truck is adjusted.. even stock. JBA also sells UCA that has a fix non adjustable high caster built in. JBA will be easier for an alignment shop to dial in. but with JBA, you'll need a more negative offset wheel to clear the UCA if you're running a larger tire.
@@lespaulguitarist92 Perfect, thank you! Funnily enough, I have an appointment with an alignment shop tomorrow to try to push forward my wheel a bit. Hoping to fit 295's next.
I want to keep my truck as close to stock as possible and definitely won't be modifying the body in any way. That said I do want to run a bigger tire than the stock 30s. What is the biggest tire I could run on a stock 2020 Off-Road? It's a double cab long bed. I'd like to upgrade to the matte black 17x7 TRD wheels and step up to a 33 inch tire, but I suspect even that setup would rub somewhere.
the zerk balls on both of my SPC arms broke off when removing the grease gun hose. WTF. i've only had them two years. what's the best way to move forward without having to remove the tires? i have an easy-out tool on the way i'm gonna try to get the rest of the zerk fitting out and then install new ones. but if that doesn't work???
Hows it going Boss! Ordering my Kings today from headstrong. This is my last point of contention, TC or SPC. I love the aesthetic of the TC, but did the SPC give that much better or a set up ? I probably wont go with as big of a tire as your set up, would that have changed your need/want to swap out arms?
Please don’t take this the wrong way but caster should not be used as an adjustment for tire rub. Caster affects so much more than just where in the wheel well the tire sits. It can and does affect straight line stability of the vehicle and how it turns into and out of corners. I hope your tech is also taking this into account and not just doing this to keep from having tire rub 👍🏻
jon shearer you're good! I know caster is more than making more tire clearance but for the purpose of this video that's all we talked about. I might have to take it directly to SPC to have the alignment done if a regular alignment shop doesn't know how
Joe Armendariz what setting is your ball joint at up top? Mines at the D setting and with 285/70/17s I’m getting some rub. If possible let me know what that is A-G and let me know what your alignment print out says your caster/camber and toe is at. Thanks 👍
More background...you had 2 CMC done , coilovers maxed and TC UCA and still rubbed that bad on 35" tires? No hope for me then. I have about an inch left on my Kings and running 285/70/17. Want to eventually re-gear and get 35". Love the build updates! The guy doing your fab work is great!
id10tek they will be all good once the SPC UCA is dialed in. I'm on 34s, I'm rubbing mostly when off road at flex and in reverse. Many have done SPC UCA with 35s and made it work so you'll be good!
Ditching TC arms? I thought they provide good adjustments numbers plus better for high end coilovers like the kings you have, they’re the best. must’ve been a shitty alignment shop that’s been doing you’re work prior to what you have now.

Haha...I've removed my total chaos uca last month and went with SPC as well. Great choice bro 👍keep up the great video

@@tonyduong10101 sorry, I sold it to my friend
KEVoTRD LBC lol wish we both would have done it from the beginning
@@Runnin4Tacos Are you still running these UCAs,, if you are! Do you recommend them??
Has anyone had any issues, with the SPC control arm rubbing or hitting the reservoir hose lines. It’s a little wider than the TC UCAs ?
We have not had issues with this and we had both TC UCAs and SPC. Can you move the reservoir lines?
I have 285/70/17s on my Tacoma with a 3 inch lift. The only place/ time it rubs is on the UCA when I go up a curb or something similar. Would the SPC UCA fix that problem? Thanks!
Is there any other UCA company that has the castor adjustment?
does it fit on a 2013 toyota tacoma with 6 in suspension lift?
With a 6" lift, you shouldn't have any issues
Hey i have these spc control arms on my 2016 tacoma and im having a problem with squeaking ! How can i fix that ? Do you have any similar problem? Let me know . Thanx
We haven't had any squeaking, they shouldn't be squeaking if there is grease in the ball joints.
Ok i greased them , also greased some bushings and the noise is gone . Thank you . Nice truck by the way

We put ours at F to have more clearance

NebraskaTacoma correct. Total Chaos has no caster adjustment. SPC is the only UCA that is adjustable due to their patent
@@Runnin4Tacos I was reading that the caster can still be adjusted when using the TC UCA's by adjusting the LCA's. Is that true?

Not at all. Possibly need grease
