A Detailed Guide To Installing a (OME) Lift and Aftermarket UCA’s On Your 5th Gen 4Runner

In this video we will cover how I install a 3” lift kit from Old Man Emu along with High Caster Upper Control Arms from JBA. I opted to replace my UCA’s in order to gain more caster to improve my alignment along with improved articulation, not because I like bright red flashy suspension components ;)
