    I will help you correct alignment issues you *probably* will have with a 3" lift. It gives you a little more caster (correct me Chris if I'm wrong) for them to adjust.

    Some people report no alignment issues with the stock UCAs and a 3" lift, but a lot do.

    Plus, they look sweet! :)

    People that have said they dont have alignment issues have not listed their alignment specs. I imagine them to be Caster at .6 or so degrees, which IS an issue. With a 2.5 to 3" lift, propper caster can not be acheived unless the toe and camber are way out of spec. :)

    your camber should be 0* or .2* max. ( I wont settle for less than .1*)
    caster should be 2.5* to 3.1*
    If they adjust your camber to 0*, your probably going to loos some caster, but as it is now, your tires have a slight \--/ when looking at them from the front. Am I correct?
