Suspension questions

So I recently installed Bilstein 5100’s/toytec coilovers up front with a true travel uca.
Now my uca is hitting my coil during down travel, how can I fix this or stop it ?
Thanks

It’s hitting on the next coil below the last one visible and a local shop did

Ok just wanted to see that they were installed correctly. Unfortunately I believe the only fix is different arms.

Different arms ? As in uppers ?

I did some research and it seems you can try turning the coil but it could also be a problem of too much lift. A different arm may have more clearance but it may not solve the issues. Yes arms as in upper control arms.

Won’t have money for new uca for a while haha just got these and there not cheap
Do you think limit straps could work ?

Did you buy all the stuff and take it to the shop or did they sale you the set up and install it?

Bought everything separate and took it to them

Bummer. Good to know that combination won’t work together.

I was thinking “too much lift” as Nancy said above. You probably got almost 4” of lift, right? Can you move the clip down a notch? Or is it on bottom already?

You would hope if the shop was a good off road shop they would be able to help figure it out.

Common sense isn’t that common anymore. [emoji23]

It’s not on the bottom clip, might try that eventually but no money or time to mess with it at this point

Won’t cost anything, just an adjustment. You’ll be fine until you correct it, just don’t go crazy off-road until you do.

Most of the destruction to my past Tacoma’s happened in 2wd. [emoji23]
