    Had an alignment done after work today (at work).
    Couldn't adjust anything other than the toe because of rusted lower control arm bolts/nuts.
    At least the steering wheel is now straighter. Last person to align my truck forgot to lock the steering wheel and messed up the toe, bad.

    I have new lower control arms and all the related hardware. I need to install the Energy Suspension bushings into the new arms and install the arms then get it aligned again.

    The numbers I'm looking for are:
    Toe 0*
    Caster*
    Camber 2.4* to 3.1*
    Are those correct? Found them in another post.
    I do have Total Chaos upper control arms.

    That's where I'm going to mount mine, but to the right and above of the mirror centerline. My mirror is in the "normal" position (I don't have the bracket that raises the mirror).
    Just making sure the cable is long enough.

    With the toe set at 0 the truck will wander. It has to have some toe in to drive straight.

    May just be a misprint, but you would want your Caster at 2.4-3.1, and you camber at or close to 0*

    No issue once I was able to order. They ran out of stock and when that happens they disable the web store so people can’t place orders. I had a few emails back and forth asking when the shopping cart would be online and was able to get an order placed. Package arrived in just a few days afterwards. I had a question just yesterday, emailed them and got a reply in a few hours.

    Not really anything I per say did but I picked my truck up from what I thought was the final garage before trading it in because nobody could figure out why it would drive an hour or so then without warning stall. Turns out it was a bad ECM. Happily paid the $384 and now I have my truck back running awesome. Hopefully that will be the last repair for a while, now it’s back to saving for mods :kona:

    I would appreciate the codes. I am iPhone but I am possibly looking to get an unused android tablet set up in the truck full time so if you have both I would love to get them.

    We are looking at getting a travel trailer but just unsure how well these trucks are set up to pull. I’ll take a look at the specs on yours.
