Octagon Alignment Cam & Tab Upgrade for Toyotas

Poor handling, premature tire wear, frequent alignment checks... Stop wasting time and money! Bomb-proof your Toyota with the Octagon Alignment Cam & Tab Upgrade.

If your Toyota sees regular off-road use, this kit is for you. Heavy duty alignment cam plates and tabs are the only fail-proof way to make sure your truck stays aligned, forever. This Octagon Cam Plate & Tab Kit offers the most points of alignment out of any aftermarket kit, and features properly shanked hardware that is capable of withstanding severe vibration and shock loads. All this will ensure you can get everything set up correctly and reliably!

Step One - Select Your Vehicle.

Kits available for the following vehicles:

• 1st Gen Tacoma (1995-2004, six lug only)

• 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023)
• 3rd Gen 4Runner (1996-2002)
• 4th Gen 4Runner (2003-2009)
• 5th Gen 4Runner (2010-2024)

• 1st Gen Sequoia (2001-2007, See Notes)
• 2nd Gen Sequoia (2008-2022, See Notes)

Step Two - Select Your Cam & Bolt Options.

Every Cam & Bolt Kit includes 8 Octagons, 4 Bolts, 4 Stover Nuts, and 8 Washers. Only one Cam & Bolt Kit is needed per vehicle.

• Octagon Options - choose from our Standard mild steel cams (paint before install) or upgrade to Stainless Steel cams to prevent rust / rock them raw.
• Bolt Options - choose from our Standard bolts, or upgrade to Greasable bolts, equipped with zerk fittings for easy lubing of your alignment hardware and  LCA bushings.

Step Three -  Select Your Cam Tab & Tool Options.

Every Cam Tab Kit includes 8 Cam Tab Plates and 16 Cam Tab Keys (side wings). Only one Cam Tab Kit is needed per vehicle.

• Cam Tab Options - simply add it or don't! We highly recommend doing it right the first time, and upgrading your cam tabs while the truck is apart. You will thank yourself later.
• Tool Options - not required, but definitely makes installation easier for just a few bucks more. See details below for more information!

How Is This Alignment Kit Better?

Development began years ago when we saw a need for a solid kit that 1) wouldn't roll around like the OEM cam plates, and 2) had more than 3 adjustment options. Many of the trucks we worked on would have benefited greatly from more options which in turn would allow for better stance and longer tire life. Enter the Octagon!

One of the many awesome properties of an octagon is the opposing parallel sides, so you still have 2 solid sides of the cam plate contacting the cam tabs (much like a square), but with 5 points of adjustability instead of only 3.

These octagonal cam plates are a drop-in option for your truck, meaning they do not require any modification to the frame. We also have a stainless steel option for those who live in rust prone areas or don't want to worry about painting the octagons.

Weak Cam Tabs

Stronger cam plates and bolts are great, but there is still a weak link especially in extreme crawling or pre-running cases. The CAM TABS are prone to bending and even flattening in some cases! So we decided to take it a step further and develop a complete upgrade for the cam tabs too.

Our cam tab upgrade kit is laser cut out of 3/16" steel plate, ensuring tight tolerances and high strength. Like any cam tab kit, our 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 cams. With these 2 options you should never pop out of alignment from slipping or rotating round 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. The problem with that is there is not a ton of room between your cams and expensive steering rack, and while Nylocks perform fine, they are very thick and are single-use items. For these reasons, we opted to go with Stover nuts which are lower profile for better fitment, better against vibration and shock, and can be un-installed and re-installed with no issue.

But above all this, probably the greatest benefit of the smaller Stover nut for the end user is that it will allow the entire bolt assembly to be flipped around, making it possible to remove your LCA's without unbolting your steering rack! This is huge.

Cam Tab Alignment Tools

We offer install tools for helping align the cam tabs on your frame, to make installing your cam tabs much easier and quicker. TAP HERE for more information and instructions.

Notes:

2nd Gen Tundra / Sequoia: Due to the odd bolt sizes, we currently only offer Cam Tabs.

1st Gen Tundra / Sequoia: Due to the frame design, installing Cam Tabs will not require removal of the stock plates like on other models. The factory tabs will simply need to be ground down:

BUT because of this, OEM alignment cams DO NOT work with upgraded cam tabs as the frame will be too thick for the bolts. You must run an aftermarket cam kit such as our Octagons and Bolts which are designed to work with aftermarket cam tabs. Please give us a call if you have any questions.

*Shanking may vary as bolt manufacturing is only accurate within 1/2". We try to ensure our kits fit all builds and usually go with the shorter end of the shank. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns.

Disclaimer: Cam Tab installation requires welding and grinding of the factory frame. Installation should only be performed by an individual or shop with fabrication experience.
