    You can. It's all done with the cam tabs. Stock UCA's will limit how much caster you can get while keeping your camber and toe in check though.

    TC, Camburg, Icon UCA's all come with around 2 degrees of caster added to them so you instantly gain that by adding them, which is how it helps the guys with lifts get their alignment back into spec, since with the stock arms you run out of cam tab adjustment trying to get them back in spec.

    Light Racing UCA's have adjustable caster and camber.

    The new tires ride so smooth!

    I fixed my alignment as well. Turned the ball joint to .5 degree negative and then used the lower can tabs to pull 2 degrees of caster.

    Gonna be a little different than the grabbers, huh?

    Looks like my cab mount may need some additional chopping.

    I'll try to get some later today. Been real busy as of late.

    The shop is hosting a welding class this morning so I can't get anything done on the bed until 1:00. So I installed my Dakar add a leafs this morning. So much easier to do when there's not a bed in the way. :D

    And when I get back from holiday I'm going to address the rear suspension. The OME's have served me well, but they severely limit droop. I could have dropped it more, but a couple of wires need to be lengthened.

    The Dakars moved a lot more than I thought they would. I'm thinking a shock hoop with a 14" shock coupled with a shackle flip will yield fairly impressive results.

    I guess I'm rich, as I've got 2.5 lbs of the stuff.

    Well, they'll certainly keep my tires out of the frame. Fenders are easy to trim.

    I guess I'm taking a bit of a chance buying such a low backspaced wheel, but at $97 a piece I'm not too worried about them not working. Besides, Summit has a great return policy. It would have been a shame to buy $350 a piece wheels and have them not work.

    And being that they're steel I can always repowdercoat them after I bugger them up.

    Oh yeah, I'm not a fan of the simulated beadlock bolts or all the other bling that's currently on today's wheels. This was also the only 17" wheel that wasn't a beadlock with 3.5" back spacing.
