    OME 887's up front, Dakar leaf packs rear and 5100's front and back (front set to 0) on an access cab. Stock UCA's.

    Bottom is current measurements so ignore the top section that you see first as you scroll down.

    Thoughts? Looks like some UCA's are in order along with another alignment to get that camber at zero.

    Too much positive camber, not enough caster. UCA time.

    camber at 0
    toe at 0
    and caster at + 1.6 or greater
    I'm not up to par on the 887 spring (im assuming you leveled it) but usually the more you lift and the bigger the tire you want to increase caster with these. For example the numbers I gave should work well with stock height or slightly raised. I'm rocking closer to 3"lift and 35" tires so for me I go 0 toe, 0 camber, and +2.8 caster

    Yep, I was hoping to avoid it but the writing is on the wall. :(

    Actually, I would like to see 0, 0 & 2.5ish +/- 0.3 for caster. My current tires are Duratracs that are 265's so +1 OAL. 285's would probably get closer to what you're talking about but I don't want the added weight and would rather just correct via suspension parts.

    for a 265 tire I would want between +2 to +2.5 caster I wouldn't want any higher then +2.5 personally

    Probably a safer bet. I'm going to wait until my leaf packs a little bit to see where my rear end is. Right now I've got a pretty strong rake and prefer a level stance so I will either add top plates or just set my 5100's up front to the lowest setting. If I'm going to do that I'll do my UCA's then and do them at the same time so I don't have to worry about doing it twice. I'd hate to take it all apart and raise the 5100's and then the rear settles and I'm all bro leaned out. :p

    Depending on tire size you may need even more caster than 2.7 or your tire may contact the cab mount when turned out and during compression via the outside rear tire edge.
