    Just curious as to what anyone has their caster set to on a 3rd Gen with SPC uppers and 285s. I understand lift type and height my be a factor . I'm running OMEs with 886 coils (CBI bumper) thanks guys! Just seeing if a CMC is in my near future.

    Subbed in case you get a response. I have OME 888’s and 285/70/17. Going to install these next weekend. I have visual positive camber I’m trying to fix.

    Lift height will be the MAIN factor and caster will change each time the suspension height is adjusted up/down. Mines a 2nd gen but I adjusted my LCA cams for max caster and put my SPC's on "neutral" (+2*). That gave me a caster of +4.4*. I am lifted ~2.5". I hope this helps a little. Have a great day!

    Camber is very easy to fix with the SPC's. There's a sticky at the top of this section that'll walk you thru an alignment. I followed it and then had it confirmed by a ship. Using that guide I got mine to:
    Toe: +.1 -.1 Goal was 0
    Camber: 0 0 Goal was 0
    Caster: +4.4 +4.4 Goal was +3 to +4
    Alignment shop said I did it better than most shops do with a machine!

    Go to "Suspension" section.
    It'll be in the top section under "Sticky's".
    It says "How to do your alignment at home".
