    pinstripes. lots of pinstripes.
    Just wanted to provide an update since I didn't see this when I searched. Ordered the Mevotech Supreme UCAs from RockAuto late last week and as I hoped, they're full SPC UCAs. Latest version it looks like, entirely forged with the newest bushings and joints. I only saw the right side listed for the Tacoma but searching by part number turned up the left side, in stock and ready to ship as well. Can't beat $415 shipped.

    Not Enough and it continues...
    Do they help with alignment issues when adding a lift?

    Now thats interesting. I wonder if SPC is selling them under the mevotech and offering less warranty to reduce overall costs.

    I mean cmon... they have SPC forged into them! haha. I mean... "Supreme Chassis Parts" does make for SPC right?

    Dunno, lifetime warranty through Mevotech on these though.

    Maybe SPC stands for "same parts, cheaper" because these are a darn good deal.

    Weird! That works! Id buy em if I needed some UCA's. Love how easy the truck is to align with my fully forged xaxis bushing UCA's

    They add some extra caster adjustment, helpful for alignment after lifting and other issues like trying to clear larger tires without modifying the cab mount.

    Just received mine from Rockauto today (well one of them... 2nd one is still shipping). Just like OP said, only one side is listed when searching by vehicle but the other side is available when searching by part #. Can't wait to get these on so I can get my alignment back. Also ordered 2x new UCA anchor bolts. Going to cut the old ones out so I dont have to fight with bending the inside of the fender. Anyone thinking of buying some SPCs should check these out and save some $ through mevotech. I paid $469 shipped which is a little more than OP but still cheaper that buying SPCs directly.

    Yes, so if you need more probably look for options other than Mevotech/SPC. Specs from SPC's site:
    Adjustment range: Camber ±2.0°
    Caster 0.0° to +4.0°

    Got mine put on today. Pick up the truck tomorrow. Now time for new tires. It will feel good to have my alignment back.

    Truck feels so much better now that it is aligned. Also had them remove the preload spacer that was on top of the spring.

    How come the ones I found don't look like what you've ordered? They're the same part number too. They look like the older design or did they just not update the pictures and they actually look like what you ordered?

    Don't always trust the product photos on RockAuto. They frequently use a generic image that isn't 100% representative of what you will actually get (unfortunate really, but somewhat understandable with thousands of parts).

    From what I've found out, it seems to be a gamble. Buy fingers crossed hoping you get the latest one. If not, return and try again.

    Came here to say, I just purchased a set about 2 weeks ago per @clip recommendation and they are the same ones pictured. Got my alignment done with no issues at all.
