    Yes, but they usually chip and wear down over time, get them powder coated!

    Sorry is this has been asked but I've read the last 15 pages(not all 195) or so and not seen it asked. I want to run 285 70 17 on some 17 x 9 wheels with a +14 offset. JBA seems to recommend a -12 for that wheel. Will I run into issues? I do want to run as close to a 3" lift. I do have spidertrax spacers but was hoping not to use them. Thanks for any help/info.

    You need at least 4.5" bs. Here is a chart to help you figure out your offset.

    It doesn't look like those wheels will fit with any set up as they are 5.5"bs. They may not even bolt on.

    I’m getting upper control arms for my 3rd gen. Anybody put 33s on oem red off road wheels? Or oem pro wheels? I like the durability of oem but I’m not sure they’ll work.

    get some 3/4" bora spacers and the OEM wheels will fit fine.

    Looks like they just went for spec as opposed to more caster. Do you like how it drives?

    It’s not bad. Pre-lift my caster was insane like 4.5 or something. I think I want to be some where in the middle. Firestone said they have a better tech that could take a crack at it. Do you think the camber is ok? Or should it be lower?

    Your numbers look fine. If you didn't like how it drove you could add more caster but really you have nothing to worry about with those numbers.

    Camber under 0.5* is fine, generally techs leave some to account for road crown. Yea I'd get that caster up at least 2.5-3*

    I’ll go ahead and say no to that alignment, they could have at least gave you a 0 camber and dead even toe number of your liking. I’m not sure if you need the postive caster as I’m not sure what tire size, if you have a cmc or, if your rubbing anywhere. Like I said the camber and toe is what you should be looking at if your okay with the caster.

    Is that the newer ball joint? Looks like mine when it started to rust. Or is it just dirty?

    That’s all my opinion though I really just came on here to show I finally replaced the rusty ball joints for the new one. BE2CE59E-648E-4B4F-98C7-DD179D79D6C8.jpg

    Already replaced ball joint. Running 265 75 r 16 with cmc and no rubbing. I like the way positive caster handles. That is the number I want to get up a little bit. Thanks for the input but I think we have different views on it.

    I meant more positive caster like 2.5-3. But if you like how it drives. Drive the hell out of it and just keep an eye out on tire wear.

    The truck looks amazing by the way!

    I only mentioned the ball joint cuz I didn’t know there was 2 warranties out for 2 previous coatings. This is my 2nd change out
