    Right on... Sounds like fun and a bad ass truck... I'm still trying to choose out whether I want long Travel or not... I'm trying to figure out if I just want to replace the UCAs and call it a day... But we will see... I think it's if I really want to replace the upgraded spindles and coilovers in the front and try to sell them and grow thro that hassle... Lol

    Alright let me pose this question...got a 3" lift put on last week and then had wheels and tires put on at goodyear. They put it on the alignment machine and luckily everything was within specs or so they said. Is there any point in getting uca's if the alignment is ok or are the stock one just not tough enough with a lift?

    These are the numbers Goodyear gave me:
    Caster Camber Toe
    FL -0.5 .7 .05
    FR -0.4 .9 .08

    Do these numbers sound right?

    They got my vote too. Put'em on this past wknd.........

    None of those numbers look anywhere near what's right for caster. Your truck is twitchin following uneven surfaces and grooves in the road isn't it? The correct caster is gonna be in the 2-2.5 range with a bit more being OK according to the resident guru - which isn't me. My caster is right at 3.0 and feels great compared to the 1.0 or so that I had before putting on the LR UCAs. No more wandering twitchy BS. Your tires won't wear with just camber/toe being correct but it'll feel much better with caster correct.
