    I would. I would without question. Have them readjust that caster to where they are less than .5* away from each other. Preferably dead even on both sides. Camber will be, what it will be, as it adjusts with the caster as the cams are moved. Toe will be easy to set for them afterwards.

    Ok. I'll ask them to re do that. It feels find driving though. Doesn't pull in either direction.

    I think CAN is the type of OBDII?

    You know, those numbers could appear due to a failure to resweep caster after adjustments. I would tell them to recheck the alignment and if it is still out then to make readjustments.

    If you just got new tires, it takes a bit for them to start wandering because they are perfectly round, no particular groove pattern from driving has been worn into them yet.

    The tires have about 20k on them. I'll ask if it's not too much trouble to get them equal and leave the left side alone. That was giving problems and now it's good.

    FWIW, this is what mine is. I gave up a little camber to get the higher caster #'s:

    Whichever side appears better to you that would be the side I use as the baseline for the other side's adjustment.

    It is most likely they failed to do a proper caster sweep after adjustments. Lol.

    I honestly don't know why some trucks can and some can't. Maybe ride height has something to do with it?

    Damn you guys! LOL

    I don't get it. I need that much caster but I can't seem to break 3.

    I think the DT uppers add about 3 yet I'm under. Hmmm

    I'm on maxtrac spindles, fox RR coilovers, camburg uppers, and factory lowers. I only have about .75-1.25 inches lift from the coilovers, the rest of my height is solely spindle.

    I'm starting to feel left out of the caster club.
