    Finally got the truck leveled out in the front and the alignment fixed. I had mad taco lean so I only adjusted the drivers side. I had 8 threads showing and went up to 13-14 threads. 6 are showing on the passenger side. This brought it up damn near an inch and was nice and level.

    I then maxed out caster by putting the rear cam all the way out and the front all the way in. Dunno what the number is but it’s probably close to 4°. This resulted in a little bit of negative camber (1° P/1.2° D) and the allowable range from Toyota is -0.2°. Long hair don’t care and will rock it as-is. I would rather have the clearance at the firewall and be a little out of spec

    Toe took no adjustment and was surprisingly spot on at 1/8” toe in and my steering wheel is even centered.

    after

    Thought I could leave the coilovers on the truck with this tool but nope. Oh well.

    My wife wasn’t around to hold the tape measure so I tried duct tape and it worked surprisingly well.

    Excuse me sir, but shouldn't you be using soft jaws on my coilovers?

    There's a reason these are only $800 Dave.

    Amazing how much clearance I gained just by maxing out caster (and lifting it up a little). I should be just fine as-is until long travel goes on there which will aid in clearance even more.

    I was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t hear any rubbing while backing out of my driveway

    You remind me that I need to hammer down the rest of my pinch weld. My off-roadies still catch the fender liner from time to time. Muy annoying.

    I'd recommend going to 35s. After that catching the fender liner won't bother you

    I will pass, sir. Not all of us can afford multiple vehicles. I will not be commuting 70 miles one-way on 35s. Not even sure I want to do it on 33s.

    There must be a line in the sand!
