    Adding more caster should mellow out the bump steer issues you are having. Your camber specs are fine.

    -18 to -38 isn't really thattt drastic of a change.

    Camber doesn't need adjustment.

    You need to add a lot more caster. 1 degree is barely enough on a stock Tacoma let alone a 6-inch drop bracket lift.

    Agreed. I'm running an OME Heavy 2.5 in lift and run ~ 4 deg of caster.

    @cementtaco87 check out this article , positive caster gives you straight line stability. You are running close to straight up and down so it does not surprise me that you are having issues over bumps.

    When you didn’t have 4 degrees of caster? What were you seeing?

    Your truck has a fever, and the only cure is more caster
