Installation Instructions
Background:
These
instructions are designed
for installing the 2” body lift.
Our approach is to raise
the entire body and install
all the spacers at once.
These instructions can also
be used successfully when
installing the 1” body lift.
However, when installing a
1” body lift, some have
found it easier to install the
spacers, one side at a time.
This could be a better
approach especially if you
do not have a twin post lift.
CAUTION: Safety glasses should be
worn at all times when working with
vehicles and related tools and
equipment.
For additional copies of these
and other instructions go to:
We recommend reading

Over time, bolts on steering and suspension components tend to “wallow out” the
bolt holes on their respective brackets. It is important to strengthen these brackets
to ensure that failure does not occur. Our TG Weld Washers were made with that
purpose in mind. Our TG Weld Washers are made out of 4130 chromoly steel and
are chamfered for welding. TG Weld Washers can also be used for reinforcing
thin sheet metal. SOLD INDIVIDUALLY.

Sequoia Upper
Control Arms by
Light Racing / SPC
Low Range Off Road is your
source for Light Racing / Specialty
Products upper control arms for the
Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia.
These arms are the best
replacement when your upper control
arm bushings or when your upper ball joint wears out. Why? They are very
adjustable, offer more ball joint deflection and much stronger than the stock units. The
ball joint is used on off road vehicles for years.... and if the joint ever does wear out or
the boot tears they are both replaceable... which is much easier than replacing the
whole upper control arm.
Many lifted Toyota Tundras and Sequoias cannot be returned to factory
alignment specs with OEM cam bolts due to geometry change or corrosion. This new
Upper Control Arm kit allows for +/-2° of camber and 0° to +4° of caster change vs.
the fixed OEM upper control arm. The OEM style sealed high-angle ball joint allows
for additional droop travel without the squeaks and rattles commonly caused by
unsealed Uniball-style arms. The hybrid tubular steel design is tough enough to
survive even the harshest usage. Use these remove and replace arms in conjunction
with the factory cams to maximize clearance in the wheel well at the same time that
you get your drivability back and extend tire life.
Fits:
Front Adjustment range:
1999-2006 Toyota Tundra All Engines
Camber: +/-2.00° 2001-2007 Toyota Sequoia All Engines
Caster 0.0° to +4.00° Installation time: .8 hr/side
Required: 1 per axle
