    I'm probably around 3°, but because of the rake, it brings it back to 0°.

    Met my wife wife on Match.com in 2004. Was on there for a year before I met her... man that was a good run! :cool: Lot of crazies though.

    Because of Match.com, got married, bought a house, had 2 kids... most expensive fucking dating site ever.

    Some really cool shit

    2.4 & 3.0 for me. Drives great. Do I need to be higher? I have no idea. Figure if it feels right, runs down the road smooth, what's the problem?

    Seriously, I have zero knowledge of alignment.

    After install of Kings I took it to a shop recommended by a co worker with a lifted GMC. Took in. They set it up. I gave no input, they asked me nothing. Gave me this diagram after completion, and away I went. Drives down the road straight. Are theses numbers good? I really don't know. Based on the 5 or 6 you're talking about I'd guess not.

    Freaking A, windshield installer came, but right when he was about to start he brought me out to show me a 2" long scratch right on the drivers side just below eye level. Said I could use the windshield for $50 off, which would make it free after my deductible and AAA membership. Thought about it, but couldn't do it, that scratch would bug the shit out of me way too much. Damn OCD.

    higher the better, not terrible caster numbers but looks like they could be at 4* like they were when you went in. Next alignment just tell them to max it out.

    they have LT so there numbers are much different. anything close to 3 has been good for me. but you do want a slight different from left to right like you have. LT is a different beast.

    My latest. Which I was fairly impressed with my at home alignment. After is as maxed as it can be, I went out and watched him do the alignment and checked the cams.

    Confusing? Standard flow. If answer is yes, you go one way following the arrow. If answer is no, you go the other following that arrow. Incredibly simple. Rifles, Pistols, Shotguns.

    Nothing Silly at all. Easy way to know if your weapon is California Compliant come July 1 of 2018. If you care.

    Now, that graph doesn't apply to my other truck.

    Something is off if that's the case. All of my stuff was within .05 of 0 and caster at 6 and my shit ran straight for miles and several offroad trips.

    uh nothing is off, its very possible Baja Kits didnt build more caster into the arms.

    Two completely different kits and manufacturers between yours and mine. Shot in the dark but i'd bet they're not identical.
