    They’ve done it for me before on a different car so I know they will, I just would like to know what exactly to ask for. Max Caster while keeping camber at toe near zero? Any downside to too much Caster? Right now the truck feels a little floaty on the freeway and has a right pull that I mentioned earlier. Just would like to fix that. And yeah I think I’ll have them bring down the PSI a tad while it’s in. Thanks for your help!

    Damn. You at my Aunt Jonnie's house? She lives up there and I'm pretty sure she has the same thermometer attached to a tree just like that. Must be a popular thermometer.

    There's a stickied thread in the tires and wheels section about alignment if you want to check that out, it has good information. I'll try and link it for you. There definitely is a downside to having too much caster, even though positive caster is moving your wheel forward, that means it is going to compress further towards your fender/fire will into your wheel well during articulation and maybe rub more. Also I don't see any reason to go past +3 for your front caster. I think it's people here generally recommend around +2.4 to clear 33s and 3+ to clear 35s and definitely making sure that camber is kept as close to 0 as possible.

    Guess who won’t get to enjoy these Dodger fingers at camp anymore
    I was not :anonymous:

    Yet, I’m still a fan. Not bandwagoning like all the tech nerds who pretend they’re not socially awkward at AT&T

    I'd say anyone that puts a jack in the center section of a rear axle is a cunt.

    I’m a socially awkward giants fan.

    Back when I was a kid I remember my momma took me to a Giants vs Reds game. Back when Ken Griffey jr still played for them. Giants got ripped apart. And I remember a Reds fan got some garlic fries thrown at him soon as Ken Griffey knocked one down center field.

    Never seen it done like that.
    Was thinking the jacks aren’t cheap must have had nice wheels.
    But thinking damm it would be fast with a few guys and some cheap jacks.
    Happy Easter and April fools all!
