    I'll be shocked if this shows up today. They should've kept their original arrival time.

    Huh, 700's are pretty hefty. You thinking winch too? I think @nastyneight has 700's. Stiff ride but he doesn't miss his sway bar.

    How are things over there, that is besides HOT and tacoless. You gotta have some USA sponsored toys to take the hills with. Maybe rebuild a burned Hiluz with the machine gun mount on the back? I hear they are littered everywhere with light shrapnel damage.

    My fronts are the OME heavy duty coils, with there small coil spacer/shim for extra weight. It is stiff but I have ALOT of weight added to the front. Still rides better than stock with just level/spacer lit

    I'd be alright with ~4 degrees caster, -.5 degrees camber and 1/16-1/32" of toe in. I'm at stock height. I just want it to stop wandering when I hit 85 mph

    Haha definitely not. I'll stay away.

    Stock height with those numbers. Goodluck. You'll probably have to do that yourself. Stock Control arms might not even let you go that far.
    I just ran 85 across the state last weekend without much wandering at under 2* caster(I need to take it back in).

    Yea, its not terrible, but I think it could be better. I've definitely driven worse, but steering feel is pretty important to me. I might get a set of aftermarket UCAs if I can't get the alignment I want.

    So any suggestions on a shop? I might just have to call every shop in Raleigh to see if they'll do it.

    Try high performance/race car shops. Regular run of the mill places won't do it, that far out of spec.

    Yea they are pretty hefty, i've been thinking of a winch, but not too sure. If I do, it will be down the road. I'm going to go with an aluminum bumper though. I did take my sway bar off when i installed my front suspenion.

    Things here are laid back, kinda boring. Hot and tacoless, is the truth, ha. I have a toyota haius that does better than a Hiluz, in the pick up and go category. I tried to trade the HHC Commander for his Hilux but he is refusing. No real need for where i'm at for guns and shit. I've thought of getting a truck off the economy here, which i really can't do.
