    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    They're all pretty shitty @uhplifted but I got the BAFX and it mostly works. Pretty cool in the Miata.

    Hi from Tennessee!

    Question while we're on the topic of alignment. With my spindles I have my coilovers set at basically no lift, my TC ucas have "caster built into them". The alignment shop told me I have too much caster, I can't think of any way to fix this without adding more lift. Any suggestions?

    I have my paperwork in the truck, I'll check, but they said they had to "max out" the adjustment and I was a little out of spec.

    too much caster? We want the most we can get with our trucks. strange. From what I was told by a shop that only does racing trucks is the more caster the better it will handle with lift. Maybe i was given wrong info.

    Yes, but most of my lift is via the lift spindle which is supposed to stay around stock geometry. My coilovers add maybe an inch.

    I'm running lift spindles as well as camburg UCA. I think your fine with the camber being high. They couldnt get those number to be closer to each other? One tire is farther forward then the other. I always ask to get toe and caster to be set at 0 or as close as possible to 0. Always feels better to me there. At this point my truck doesnt hold an aligmnet for very long so Im always in there getting it done.

    Maybe I'll bring the front up a little bit and see if that helps. Then I'll ask them to set the camber and toe closer to 0 if possible.
    Thanks guys! Glad it's not anything too bad to worry about. I wasn't sure if there were different spacers I needed between my spindle and uca or different cam bolts.

    A lot of caster is good when lifted up. Long travel, mid travel, spindles. Helps with stability.

    More caster is a good thing. Tell them to set them around 4.0

    Think of castor like a bike. Ride it regular and you can ride straight with no hands. Flip the handle bars around so the tire tucks close to the frame and there is no stability. Positive castor means high speed stability. Negative castor means u-turn on a dime but very unstable at speed.
