    Have you had it aligned? Camber looks a mile off

    Since you mentioned the camber decided to look at alignment sheet again, don't really understand what I'm looking at though. Shows front camber 0.6 degrees both front tires, caster 1.4 degrees left side and 1.5 degrees right side.

    Those might be "within specs" but not ideal with a lift. 0.0 camber and 3.0-3.5 caster is what's preferred with a 3" lift. But would require aftermarket upper control arms

    Excuse my ignorance but can i get a quick dumbed down explanation of camber and caster?

    Are these actual parts or settings for the shocks or?


    Nice looking truck brother! Did your XP come with those stickers? i have the XP as well but it came with badges. And XD rockstar 2 wheels... Which I'll one day replace with something easier to keep clean. I'd love some fuel beast really. One day.

    Currently saving my pennies for 5100s, 888s, LR UCAs and 3 leaf AAL. But it will be after Xmas Before i can swing it.

    Camber is the way the tire is tipped in or out if you're standing in front of the truck. See how the top of the OP's tire is leaning way out.

    Caster is the angle that the knuckle is tipped back. Can't really be seen just by looking at the truck.

    Both angle control how the truck will track and how responsive/stable it is on the road.

    Excessive camber will cause tire wear though.

    No I had the stickers made, badges are also on this truck. The wheels having those plastic pieces were a pain to clean, I removed them to make cleaning easier and also replaced the black hardware with stainless, to me it just looked better.

    Digging up some alignment posts. After your coil install, what did the dealer say about the warranty or covering the alignment under Toyocare? Did you have to pay out of pocket to get it aligned at the dealer? I ask if they say aftermarket coils void warranty.
