    Installed these coilovers awhile back and wanted to let it settle a few days before i got an alignment. Truck sits about 3/8" higher than previous lift at about 22 5/8" hub to fender. 11/16" thread showing drivers, 9/16" passenger. (access cab). Total chaos uca's.

    Anyway shop called and owner said he wasnt real happy with where they ended up but it was the best they could do. Im sure ive gotten worse alignments and the shop just said "all done here ya go"
    and i never thought twice. I really need to learn to read these alignment shop printouts and understand camber/ caster better. Until then with my small amount of knowledge on alignments and "good" #'s thought id ask you guys. Cams were maxed out i think he said or possibly out of threads on tie rod mabe. Thinking the latter. Thanks for any thoughts/ info

    I'm an "alignment snob" :pccoffee: and I think he did a pretty good job. You got a nice amount of caster and camber looks great. It's one of the better sheets I've seen posted.

    Being a "snob" I would have wanted toe closer to 0 and I don't care for road crown compensation so I'd want caster to be even, but your alignment is still very good.

    How does it drive?

    Drives good imo. Maybe pulls to the right a hair but overall no complaints. Was kind of taken a back by how annoyed he seems at the #'s. Just assumed since i maybe had alittle too much lift/ coils hadn't really fully sagged yet that they weren't very good and he was giving me fair warning. Maybe actually found a shop in my area that doesnt do hack work and takes pride in it lol. Thanks for the info

    Looks good to me. If they could get some more caster from the driver side front it would Be better but that's being nitpicky

    I guess I'm a snob also. I like to see a -.10 toe in that helps track straight. 0* camber and he could have gotten your caster more even.

    But overall looks good.

    Makes sense because a little more preload on drivers. Thinking there was something wrong with my truck since he seemed so bummed and was asking if i had messed with anything else besides just swapping coilovers. Busted outer tie rod end replaced but he said that wasn't it. Puts my mind as ease thanks
