Zachk, let's just remove your bedsides and fenders. All the clearance! Or cut 4" out and be ready for those 37s.

 

9 sounds good

 

Zachk hahahahahahaha

 

Fuck it. I'm down

 

Zack, think these will hold your truck?

 

Probably not dude, these 35's are heavy

 

Ok

 

Mike, where does your upper balljoint sit in the slot? Going to try to get it halfway close to right before I install the arms.

 

We can eyeball it before you leave the house.

 

I'm thinking about going to buy a cordless impact tonight, so we might have that for Monday too.

 

I'm bringing a corded impact. But don't let me stop you from getting one.

 

I already have a cordless impact.

But more is never a bad thing. But definitely buy one @Dave41079 i love mine and it makes everything a million times easier

 

Proud to announce I'm stepping into the fabbin' game. Im pretty much unstoppable at this point. . .. haha.....jk (im quite stoppable)

 

Camber setting, or caster? Caster: Driver's side is at "D" passenger's side is at "C". Camber, i have no fuckin idea

Refer to this chart if you don't have one.

 

Ha ha. I was talking camber. Eyeballing it shall be.

 

Yeah, that's pretty much what you have to do until an alignment.

 

Lol yes unfortunately I am leaving these mountains behind but I have learned a ton about the capabilities of our trucks and I've had a lot of fun in the mountains out here. Time to explore more of the USA.

 

You got miller because you're a miller

 

I got the LR arms too. How much you try to set it is up to you. I've done it 2 different ways and both were ok.

You could just center everything (LCA cams and UCA) and as long as it handles well enough to get you home, let a professional do the rest.

Or, if you want to get it sort of close yourself and add more tire clearance or something:
For caster: Both of my uppers are centered ("D" setting), used LCA cams to shift tire forward to so it clears cab mounts at full lock, measured from cab mount to tire to get both sides about even.
For camber: cut a scrap of wood that will rest across the rim face both ends, download a free angle finder app to your phone, put the scrap of wood vertical over center of rim making sure it's resting on the rim not the center cap, slide upper balljoint in slot until you get 0 degrees.

Drive back and forth a couple feet, then recheck and re-adjust as needed to get left and right even. See how it drives, then decide if you want to mess with toe. If you mess with toe, little at a time. Then let a professional dial it in later.

 

Thanks! Good thinking for checking the camber. I like that.
