For anyone that’s done a front leveling kit and has there alignment sheet after the kit was installed, could you please post it. I’m looking to compare my alignment to some others to see if mines off.

Alignment after leveling kit

I got an alignment… what I was asking is to see what others have for specs after the alignment to compare to where I have mine at. I set my castor at +3.6, camber +0.5 and toe was around +0.04.
Gotcha. Same truck can be sightly different even with same leveling kit. Does it not drive to your liking post alignment? Did you margins all end up in the green?

what I can tell you is the truck feels really twitchy on the wheel, almost to responsive if that makes sense? Seams to track straight down the road if you take your hands off the wheel a sec or so to test it. Weird thing I noticed though is when you got the wheel turned tight and make a sharp turn in the parking lot it almost feels like the truck is pushing, never noticed that before the leveling kit. Now when I lifted my 3rd gen I used JBA upper control arms and set the castor to like +4.5 degrees and the truck drove great. This 4th gen is totally new and I wasn’t sure how much different the alignment specs would be?

I just did the Peak 1.25 front spacer for now and plan on swapping out these stock tires with some more aggressive 33’s.
Nice looking truck.
Strange you are having issues with such a small amount of lift.
I ran SPC UCA on my 5th 4Runner so it drove well with 2.5
If I were in your shoes I'd bring it to Toyota and have them align it, if that wasn't who did it in the first place.

Personally I feel this truck is "twitchy" on its own without out the lift if you ask me. I guess I've been driving traditional hydraulic steering for a number of years, and while Toyota is doing a great job of emulating hydraulic steering, I can tell this thing is electronic. To me, a just a very tad "darty" on the highway. But I'm living with it. I don't like all the nannies either, I'm old. Just want to drive like I have been for the last 40+ years now.

I grew up driving the old school hydraulic power steering vehicles and I agree this electric power steering is something to get use to. Talking about all the Nannies, before I bought this Tacoma I was looking at a hold over ZR2 Colorado for about 6,000 off msrp. The reason I choose the the Tacoma over that, even though that ZR2 had way more options was because of all the Nannies. I did not like how Chevy pretty much made it so the dash screen and radio screen looked like they all merged into one. Also that engine is way more techy vs the Tacoma.

I didn’t have Toyota do the alignment, I did it at a friends shop who has a pretty nice machine. I do know if I bring it to Toyota they will drop that caster way down. Like I said earlier I’m use to the older Tacoma’s, so maybe the 4th gen don’t need as much caster as the 3rd gen’s. And these electric power steering racks are something to get use to.

What did they set your caster at with them new upper control arms? Usually they have quite abit built into them. I’ve got my camber and toe pretty close to where yours is at.Here was mine after alignment. I have since updated with new offset UCA's and now 100% in spec
