    That's a typo.

    0 CAMBER, 0 toe and as much CASTER as you can get, but shoot for 3° of caster.

    I had previously looked up and someone said 2.2 caster 5 camber and 0.5 toe.

    Set the ball joint to the D position (neutral) which gives you 2* extra of caster over the stock UCA.

    Slide the ball joint all the way out to the outside edge. (Makes it easy to re-align yourself if you ever have to remove it or knock it out of position)


    Then shoot for .1* of toe in per side. -.3 camber per side and 3* of caster.

    The little bit of toe in will make it to where the tires are straight as they get pushed down the road and want to toe out.

    The little bit of negative camber (that is the top of the tire in from the bottom) makes it to where the tire will wear evenly inside and outside from turning

    And 3* of caster will make her travel like a freight train down the road without making the steering too heavy.


    I would not go with the +1 or C setting as that will move the tire backwards and will cause rubbing on the cab mount etc.
