Ball joint thread size?& making bj spacer
Hi all,new here and have a few questions.thanks in advanced.
I installed my front coil spacer lift and i am getting terrible tire rub on the uca. The po put 6 to 5kug adapters with tundra rims and 33s.the rims bolt up almost at the face of them (no offset)which is one big problem. I am considering making a ball joint spacer /spindle spacer to bring the uca back above the tire after the lift and to stop the rubbing issue. I need to know what the thread size is for the upper ball joint to make this spacer.im basically going to use a bolt extender to do this.

Your better to buy different upper control arms, there are a few option but stay away from uni-balls, or you can cut the protruding edge off the UCA and weld a cap over the opening. Wheel spacers are not a great idea especially on the front short wheel studs, 6 lug to 5 lug, again not ideal but if you have a spare no biggy i guess. The UCA usually runs into the side wall on droop.

Those rims won't work then, the offset is incorrect for this suspension regardless of what UCA you put on. IMO I would sell those rims and spacers and buy 2016-2018 17" 4R trail edition rims or something that will fit.
