    Moving the hiems collectively in or out adjusts camber.

    Moving the front in and the rear out reduces castor.

    Moving the rear in and the front out increases castor.(more stable at speed and lifted applications)

    They adjust the castor opposite of the lower cam bolts.

    I think it was. It will get your odometer reading more accurate since your Speedo will be more spot on which will help your shift points.

    But why would you want that? I've had oversize tires since 20k miles and my odo reads 107k now, when it's actually probably closer to 120k. Helps resale value. Just need to be conscious of your speed according to your speedo and spend your money one something more fun.

    Obviously so I don’t have to guess what speed I’m going and and for the reasons I’ve already said.

    Finally installed the dirtking +3.5 kit. Looks like a solid kit. The welds are on point. Can’t wait to take her out when I get the bumper

    I've had mine on for a little over a year and love it. You will be very happy.

    What do you have for the rear?

    If you plan on pushing the front kit start saving for a DMZ spring under setup for the rear. I had a similar setup when I installed my front kit, drove it once off-road and the rear couldn't come close to keeping up.

    It will fix the speedo and odo but that's it. The truck runs just fine without it recalibrated

    Agreed. I ran the tc midtravel sua with the bamf 12 inch kings. Took me about ten seconds to realize that shit was lacking. Maybe if I had a +2 it might have been more balanced...never too late to join the dmz team!
