    Like I said I'm not sure. Don't be a lazy bum, measure that shit! Either way you know your castor is maxed and you've evened it between both sides so it doesn't really matter. The only thing you may gain from going the full 20° is a more accurate reading

    Exactly that's my reasoning. Think the 1 degree of negative is cool? I know Jason mentioned its good because lots of castor eats up the outside of your tires when you turn.

    Yea 1° negative is good. Just keep an eye on your tires and you'll know if your OK to stay there. It may drive better at -1 camber so it'll be up to u to decide if the extra tire wear if you see any is worth it

    Just snuck home to do some actual measuring with my jobsite digital angle finder. Looks like measuring does make a difference.
    What do y'all make of this... seems odd. I know when I've had it aligned before they've gotten 4 degrees castor... weird.

    enough to go over stuff
    Firestone consistently gets me 3 but Toyota got me 4 when I took it in and it was amazing. The go cart steering went away.

    Hmmm. I wasn't unhappy with the way it drove last time. We'll see. Maybe I just need to try maxing the fronts for optimum caster and then dialing in camber with the backs... idk. We'll see.

    Speaking of my truck. It completely works now. Great to have it back. Although I never drive it anymore lol. Vibrations are little to non existent. Shims really do help. Overall I'm a happy Dakota.

    Yeah. I had a 6 degree difference in pinion angle to t-case output. So technically I needed bigger shims.
