    By hand, maybe a little persuasion with a rubber mallet.

    This is what I did on the passenger side. Have to do the driverside tomorrow morning. Then off to get her aligned. Hardest part of doing the dakar leaf pack was wrestling it up in place, they're stout.

    Finished my fun today. Then went in for my alignment. Numbers came back pretty decent

    Left Right
    .5 Camber .4
    1.8 Caster 2.5
    0.02 Toe 0.04

    At first he was stumped with how to utilize the LR UCA's until I showed him the thread here on TW that talked about how to start with the LCA cam then adjust UCA's. It drives really nice. Ended up with 3.25"-3.5" of lift so I figure after it settles I should be right at 3" which is what I was shootin for.

    Do your abs lights come on? Or your limited slip light stay on?

    Does yours ? If so you may have damaged the ABS sensor cable during your lift install

    Knock on wood, I've not had any of those issues in the first 50 miles since installation. All of my four wheel drive options seem to work fine and my ABS kill switch still functions as it did pre lift. I would have to echo Oz's thought perhaps you damaged the data wire that's right there. Have you inspected the wire at those vulnerable points for signs of impact/pinch?

    Your caster is pretty uneven.....with the LR UCAs they should've have no problem getting both sides the same and most folks on here recommend getting close to 3*.

    This.. that's horrific. Take it back and have it fixed.

    0 toe
    0 camber
    3* caster

    For lifted trucks.

    Agreed. A variation of a tenth, or a couple hundredths of a degree isn't terrible, but you're over a half a degree variance on caster. No bueno.
