✔️About the kit:
Our Alignment Cam Upgrade kit is the only Fail-Proof way to make sure your truck stays aligned, forever! Unlike many other kits ours offers more points of alignment, properly shanked bolts, and nuts capable of withstanding severe vibration and shock loads. All this will ensure you can get everything set up correctly and reliably!

Our kit is currently compatible with the following vehicles:
3rd gen 4Runner
4th gen 4Runner
5th gen 4Runner
1st gen Tacoma
2nd gen Tacoma
3rd gen Tacoma
1st gen Tundra
1st gen Sequoia
07-14 FJ Cruiser
GX460
GX470

✔️How Does Our Alignment Kit Differ?
Development began over a year ago when we saw a need for a solid alignment kit that 1) wouldn’t roll around like the OEM cams, and 2) had more than 3 adjustment options. We found many trucks we worked on would benefit greatly from having more alignment options that would allow for better stance and longer tire life.

✔️Enter the Octagon!
By using an octagon we were able to allow for 5 points of alignment without compromising durability! One of the many awesome properties of an octagon is opposing parallel sides, so much like a square you will still have 2 solid sides contacting the cam tabs.

We designed these octagonal cams to be a drop-in option for your truck meaning they do not require any modification to the frame.

✔️Weak Cam Tabs
We found our alignment cams to be great for any light to moderate offroading, but in extreme crawling or prerunning cases we noticed the OEM cam tabs would start to bend! We decided to take it a step further and develop a complete upgrade for the cam tabs.

Our cam tab upgrade kit is laser cut out of 3/16″ steel plate ensuring tight tolerances and high strength. This kit will require grinding off the old cam tabs and welding these in their place.

Our cam tabs can used with the OEM cams but for best results should be paired with our octagonal alignment cams. With these 2 options you should never pop out of alignment from slipping or rotating alignment cams again!

✔️Proper Bolt Shanking
Another key point may other options disregard are properly shanked bolts. Bolt shanking is critical for ensuring your alignment tab holes do not start to wallow out over the years. Under shear load (see the illustration), the bolt experiences force perpendicular to its axis. Bolts with proper shanking will provide tighter tolerances and with the absence of these stress concentration points will increase the bolt’s performance and lifespan. All bolts offered in our kit are properly shanked for a precise, tight, and long lasting fit.

✔️Holding it all Together
Many similar kits use a nylock nut to hold everything together. As you may know there is not a ton of room between your alignment cams and expensive steering rack. Nylocks perform fine however they are thick and only one-time use items. Any time you remove your nylcok nut you should replace it. For these reasons we opted to go with Stover nuts.

Stover lock nuts are a one piece, all-metal nut. The locking action, created by distortion of their top threads, is said to be capable of withstanding severe vibration and shock loads. The physical size is also smaller than that of a nylock so you will have clearance between the nut and your steering rack.

Any kit using a nylock will not properly fit between the cam tab and the steering rack. Probably the greatest benefit of the smaller Stover nut is that will be able to flip the LCA bolt around, making it possible to remove your LCA’s without unbolting your steering rack!

Nice very well explained, I just ordered last week the complete kit!

[jimskatr]

No way!!! I just got these in the mail!! So pumped for this video. These guys customer service is on point!!!

[TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for the video Brochachos! I'm going to be installing a set of these on a 1st Gen Tundra soon.

[northcountryoutdoorsusa]

That's a very good looking product. Awesome instructional video!

[johnthornto]

So bolt and hexagon only kit gets rid of the round alignment tabs right?

[DoobydoMoto]

Curious your welder setting were at for this?

[jaimegarcia]

Wish yall made the Fj Cruiser bolt kit greasable id def buy the kit with the tabs and all.

[tsslaporte]

Great video but I just want to mention that this guide is missing torque specs. Stover Nuts run on torque will need to be accounted for. Whats great about this kit though it that it uses a normal bolt which should be able to handle more torque, which has a higher clamp load which means the alignment will hold better.

[fernandopinzon]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but why are the cam tab key seperate from yhe plate?

[NYskyHI]

What sized wrench is required for the 3rd gen tacoma kit?

[jovanivenegas]

I ordered some and saw that some tabs are a bit bigger than the other ! Do the bigger tabs go on the back of the control arm ? And the small ones in the front ??

[CarlosMorales-mxel]

Do you have a kit for a 2011 Toyota tundra crewmax

[georgesantiago]

Do both side aligne the same number of lines? Im having some shaking on front and their not the same numbers of lines.Hope you can help. Thanks

[nonamenoname]

didn't see any kits for the 2nd GEN 07 TUNDRA, just 1st Gen...am I missing something, or out of luck!

[SEQUOIALOVER]

I ordered some but I’m not getting a tracking number. Or any response? Low long dose it take from cali to Florida

[blakeray]

Are you using argon gas and oxygen or flux core?

[youonlyliveonce]

Whats the purpose of that part? What if i leave it stucked/broken? Is the vehicle dangerous to drive? Thank you
