    ^^Good call. +1 (once I can off my phone)
    SoCaltaco65 stopped by the shop and said the same. While it needs to be raised, my alignment shop in LA sucked trying to get the numbers back to STOCK. We're gonna try a better alignment pushing the tires forward. Seems I'll still have to trim. Soooo Built Right uca's seem to have more movement than TC's?

    Don't tell the shop you want it " stock " or " in spec " , tell them you want 3* caster , 0 camber , 0 toe

    I ended up getting 3 caster , 0 camber , 0 toe , but that was only possible in my case because of the LR UCA's . Both my front alignment cams were seized , so in order to get those numbers we had to get the final camber adjustment in the UCA

    This.

    Your trucks no longer going to achieve stock numbers. The whole point of changing the UCA when doing a lift is to modify the caster while using stronger material. My trucks actually much harder to get dialed in because the TC UCA's move the caster for a lifted truck and I'm barely lifted. The higher you go the harder it is to get a higher degree of caster. I know guys on 35's that are lifted tall and would kill for 3.7-4.0* caster that is causing you issues.


    Oh it's here. Just need to look, ask, and read people's posts who do stuff right. This must be the 20th time I posted those numbers and Chris4x4 told me them years ago. I also had my first alignment after my lift done by a local NJ pro who works on most of the local guys trucks and he set it to 0, 0, and 2.9 three years ago....

    Oooooohhh, heeeeeeey, lookey what I got.............

    Saddest part is? That last yellow report I was given and posted here wasn't even my truck, so I just spent $70 on another alignment. Looks like they had to fix a few things, anyway, but tires now look much closer to the cab mount.

    The customer service woman said that they do not have a press for it and it cost "10's of thousands of dollars from Europe". She also explained that because there are so few of this size, carcass's would be hard to come by. So it would not be worth it for them. That sucks; back to the drawing board.

    Not mine, pulled off some forum. I had some pics but can't find any good ones.

    Here are some of me struck in some hard pack drift snow. I had the winch so I just went full speed into the drift just too see how far I could smash in haha.

    You can barely see the sipes though.[​IMG]

    EDIT: Here we go found it:

    It does get through some snow though!
