    After looking at that alignment, I’m not so sure about mine... thoughts?

    Caster looks good

    Thanks for that, I was mostly wondering about caster since I am really not familiar with alignment specs.

    From what I understand, if you’re lifted... you usually want caster 3 degrees plus.

    Regarding the alignment specs, a high degree of caster is not necessary because if the lift, but because of the bigger tire you will put on the truck due to having the lift. "Toe" is going the measure how your tires are facing in, out , or straight so your car won't drift left or right. Camber is how your tires are straight up and down. Caster is how your tire is moved front to back. The more degree of caster, the more forward or centered your tire will be so when your suspension is articulating or turning, it will decrease the likelihood of rubbing the cab mount or inner fender.

    Call Maria and the crew @HeadStrong Off-Road. They have the best pricing and they can assemble the shocks for ya.

    May want to invest in UCAs if your trying to fit a 285 and have a chance at not rubbing. Wheel offset plays a roll in rubbing as well.

    Yep, and even at 4 degrees I’m rubbing at full lock. CMC scheduled for Thursday

    Anyone regret there 6112/5160? I’ve got jba uca and the headstrong 3leaf AAL. Just need shocks. Was originally going king but to be honest I don’t know if I “need” them. Talking $1500 difference here. I do off-road but it’s mostly for hunting and maybe a little exploring.

    How many hours do you think the install of these shocks and a new leaf pack take at an auto shop? Trying to get a decent idea before I ask around for quotes. Thanks!

    What setup exactly is it? Also, how much lift did it give you? I was on the phone with them today but only spoke about the Eibach setup and how I might rub lol

    Sooooooo I got myself the 6112/5160 combo with SPC UCAs and a headstrong 3 LEAF AAL. Also the ECGS bushing. I’m getting this all installed by a professional in a few weeks. Do I need anything else that I don’t have? I’ve been reading a shit ton and people are all over the place with bump stops, shims, u bolt flip kits and the like. Is any of this shit necessary?
