Rate my alignment

Sitting at about 2.5" lift on 33s

Guess i should have given more info. I know little about alignments other than the repeated 3+ caster, 0 camber, 0 toe. The firestone i go to wont do more than 2.9 caster and they only mess with the camber and toe a bit. One day i might pay for an actual custom alignment but for now im just trying to see if this is okay.

 

UCA’s?

 

Icon delta joint UCA's

 

Camber looks good. How does she drive ?

 

here are my numbers.

 

It drives well enough, it tracks to the right a bit but im pretty sure its just the roads where i live have a pretty steep crown

 

Thanks for sharing yours, looks like your back end is close to mine which makes me feel better too

 

I would be happy with that. It should track straight and a little positive toe is exactly what you need. A little higher caster would be great, but absolutely nothing wrong with what you have.

 

If you "mess" with camber, you "mess" with caster on our stock truck as they use the same cam to adjust. Your alignment looks fine. Should go straight on a flat surface. Might veer just a little to the right on roads with road crown. A little less caster on the left (.2,.4) to help that if it's an issue but it might not be depending on the roads in your area.

PS. Is your truck stock? The only reason people go higher on the Caster is to help to clear larger tires

 

Awesome i appreciate the feedback. And yeah i have 33s, cmc and some plastic trimming but at full lock and stuff it rubbed just a bit when my caster was 2.0. Eventually im going to go up to 34s and im sure ill have to do more trimming and probably more positive caster.

 

Well then you'll need UCAs. Are you lifted?

 

Yeah dobinsons lift. About 2-2.5"s. I have icon delta joint UCA's. Current tire and wheel is 285 70r17 wildpeaks E load on scs f5 17x8.5 -10mm. Plan on going to 285 75r17 toyo at3 C load but ive got a good 30k miles left on these tires.

 

tracks to the right because your toe-in is uneven with more on the left. too much IMO but you're the one driving it.

 

2 one-Hundredth of a degree wont cause a pull

 

that depends on the tires. on my truck 1/10 (edit, meant 1/100, 0.02 one side 0.03 the other and I'm pulling significantly, but I've setup my truck for it) causes a pull, clearly. soft tires can get away with it. firm tires will show it if the rest of the alignment is even enough.

 

One tenth maybe, two hundredths no way

 

on a stock truck, mine was like you're saying before i went to town on it. now i literally pull at 1/100. it's not subtle either. setup & tire dependent.

 

There is no way you will pull on a hundredth of a degree. I'm sorry it just impossible. Most alignment machines aren't even setup to that kind of resolution. I could walk up to a truck and slightly hit the back or front of the front tires on a locked turnplate and the alignment might change more than 2 one hundredths. You probably pulled for other reasons. I worked for Hunter and John Bean installing and training on alignment machines and racks and no where in my years of training and experience did I ever encounter a situation where that kind of toe would cause a pull. As the OP said it's probably road crown.
