    3" coil lift spacer in front. 2" block spacers in rear. 6lug to 5 lug adapters. 20" tundra rims with 33" mt tires
    After putting a coil spacer lift on i want to put these bj spacers on to fix the angle.i know many think its not ideal and will say to just get new ucas but im not looking for that route. Can anyone send me a link to buy them?
    Here is a post on here showing them.unfortunately its from 2 years ago..the pic is of his post and shows the arrow pointing to the spacer im looking for.

    Those spacers are only designed to be used with a drop bracket lift, one that involves hacking off the suspension crossmember. You CANNOT install that spacer without moving the lower control arm mounts lower. It would be physically impossible. Even if it was possible, you would never be able to align the truck.

    From what ive seen people have used them on tacomas like mine to bring the upper control arm angle back up instead of binding the ball joint just like the bolt up bj spacers that screw to the uca(but mine are stock without screw holes,just press in ball joints).am i missing something on this? Do you know where to get them?

    This is my angle. My tires rub really bad cause the guy before thought putting 5 lug adapters with non offset 20" rims and 33s..so i need the uca spacer to bring it back above the tires and to stop the rubbing and to stop the spindle from hitting the coil spring

    Oh man..... look at your poor CV axles. I would pull the block and try to lower your truck a bit, buy some spacers for your wheels or just get different wheels.

    Kinda looks like your stacking lifts, depending on what setting your Billy's are set on, You might lower the lift and lose the blocks. Those balljoint spacers are pretty sketchy, I would steer clear. Aftermarkter UCA's would help with your balljoint angle.

    I plan to drop the front diff soon. And yes different regular 6 lug rims also and tossing the adapters. I dont want it to sit lower i just want the ucas to be more straight and above the tires

    The only diff drop thatll help your Cv's is a Drop Bracket lift. Lowering would help your truck ride better, work better, and probably handle better.

    But I guess it is your truck, do what you want.

    Why don’t you just get different wheels and some aftermarket Ucas (Jba, light racing, are some cheaper ones). Probably be easier/safer.

    And then I guess just say F your Cv’s cause you don’t wanna lower it.

    Your CV angle is the worst ive ever seen...why would anyone do that to a truck? You must get some funny looks driving down the road
