Caster and Camber

Anyone have I pic of they're alignment printout, showing good caster and camber that fits 285 70s? without getting cab mount chop. Have 3" lift. Believe my camber is set to far to the rear.

 

Are you confusing camber with castor?

 

Your thinking caster. It all depends on your UCA setup to clear the cab mount on 285s. Stock UCAs will clear enough to be funtional. Static aftermarket UCAs will require cab mount chop. SPC control arms are adjustable. Set them to the G location. Max lower control arms cam bolts to push the tire forward. Correct camber at the SPC ball joint and you will have tons of clearance at the cab mount and about 2* caster.

 

Tire is to far back needs to be pushed forward. The way it is now it is aligned and smooth. When I got fitted for 285s however I'm catching the entire tried on cab mount.

 

What UCA's are you running?

 

I think we chatted on Facebook. What is your current alignment numbers? Know that the only adjustment you have is at the LCA cams. Caster and camber are dependent on each other. When you add caster it changes camber. So the more caster you add the more the camber goes out of spec. So the alignment tech can only go so far. But with SPC arms you can correct the camber at the top so maxing out the LCAs is not an issue. Your pretty much stuck with doing a cab mount chop and usually still will go into the firewall when stuffed and turned on the trail.

 

An alignment printout won’t help you with this. It’s entirely dependent on your lower cam positions as I said in your other thread.

I also recommend keeping your threads consolidated instead of just creating new ones about the same things.

 

The real problem is those 9.5” wide wheels with 1.25” spacers.

 

Freedom

 

Since those aren't adjustable, you are limited to cam bolts. May have to bite the bullet and chop away.

 

I know they aren't adjustable. That's why a was wondering how these other guys got away with it without cab mount chop.

 

They run stock UCAs or adjustable and most likely running a 7.5 to 8.5in wheel without wheel spacers.

 

You are missing a lot of information that changes the geometry of your end result. What is your back spacing? What spacers are you running? I am running 3° caster and am clearing 275/70R18 tires (over half an inch taller than yours) without any chopping or cutting needed. I have 0 offset wheels and no spacers. Ironman UCA's.

 

30 offset, 1.5 spacers, brings it to -1.75 offset.

 

That is your main issue. -10mm offset is about the most you want.

 

-1.75 is less though? ‍♂️

 

Your wheels are an inch and a half wider, so you are starting with 3/4" of an inch stance out. In addition, you have inch and a half spacers, so the total , if your 9" wheel has same offset as the stock wheel, is two and a quarter inches of poke. That is a lot and caster won't fix it.

 

I understand now lol. So if I lose the spacer you think that would work?

 

So you are in 30mm and out 38mm plus another inch wider rim of 25mm so your net offset should be -33mm. Someone double check my math but I don't see that working...
