    Can someone point me in the right direction for "lift-modified" alignment specs for my 07 Taco? Been searching, but having a hard time finding for my setup.

    From what I've read, been told you want toe/camber as close to 0 as possible. Caster around 3 degrees for stability. Without aftermarket UCAs you can't do much with the caster though.

    That seems to be what I have found so far. Was wondering if the 3 degree positive caster is still correct based on 1.75" of lift (as opposed to the 2.5-3" lift) with C rated tires at one size up from factory size (LT265/75R16 "6 ply" vs P265/65R17 "4 ply").

    Attached is the alignment numbers I got after installing the lift. It didn't seem quite right, and I am now back out of alignment since I have twice disconnected the left LCA in order to replace CV axle.

    As long as it's driving good, the caster is kind of a personal preference it seems. If it's too low I've read it'll wander at highway speeds.
