Alignment Help

I have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma, I just installed the 3" OME lift on the truck along with the Light Racing UCAs. I'm currently stationed in Germany, this passed Thursday i took the truck to 3 different garages and none of them would touch it. Today I took it to a shop and they put it on the alignment machine then told me they couldn't align it because they didn't have any data. I'm guessing that's their way of saying we don't know what to set the specs to.

I tired searching for answers but each forum has different answers. I was told these specs and just wanted some opinions on them or if anyone can give me better specs that would be appreciated as well.

Toe: +.05
Left and right caster: +2.5 to +4.0 range
Left and right camber: +0.3 to +0.5 range

Edit: Forgot to mention I'm still using the stock tires and stock TRD Sport Rims. No plans to get new rims and tires until I return to the states.

 

Align it back to the stock settings. With a proper lift, such as you seemed to have installed, such adjustments are possible.

They put it on the rack, everything is red and their confused as fuck. There is an adjustment for every alignment angle on these trucks and it really does not take all that long to get a lifted truck back or close to the OE specs.

 

can anyone post the stock settings? The German garages keep claiming they can't align it because the truck is to new and they don't have the specs in their system. I call bullshit because I thought the only changes from the 05+ to the 12+ was the front end cosmetics.

 

Can't help with stock #'s, sorry on that.

That can be a believeable story as the alignment machines do need updates. And updates can be expensive, so some shops don't have the most up to date specs.

The trucks are not all the same. Their actually very individualized and specific. When I align my truck, I can only select a Tacoma from the 2007-2008 model years, along with all the other specific information I have to give about the truck....like drivetrain, cab size, etc...

 

Called my dad and he went to Toyota. They gave him 7 pages of alignment info, it's sorted by model number. He scanned and emailed me the 7 pages, I'm trying to attach them now but the internet is being slow for some reason. Get them up asap.

 

Finally got them to load.

 

If you want perfect even tire wear and no pull, these are the specs you need
Camber: 0*
Toe: 0*. Possibly 1/16th or -1/16th but no more or less.
In Germany do you drive on the left side or the right side of the road?
If you drive on the right side, like in America, caster needs to be 2.3 on the driver and 2.4 on the passenger side.
Vice versa if you drive on the left side, 2.4 on the driver and 2.3 on the passenger side.

 

Right side like in America. Alignment is scheduled for in the morning, snowing now so not sure if it will happen tomorrow or not. Thanks for the numbers I'll show them the papers from Toyota and write this down as well and I guess see how close they get.

 

got the truck aligned yesterday picked it up this morning. rides like its on rails now. thanks for the help guys. id post the alignment sheet but its in German.
