    The only place I drove it is straight home from the alignment shop, it's at a 45 degree angle when the truck is straight. The guy does everything without computers, so maybe he's bsing his numbers.

    In that case take it back to him. It is probably aligned right, he just forgot about the steering wheel.

    I would clock it from the rack itself. Turn the rack all the way to one side, count the turns all the way back to the other, then turn it back 1/2 that number to center the rack itself. Then the adjustment at the wheel will be very minor.

    So I have a question for you guys that have LT. I'm about to order my kit and I was wondering what you guys thought of 2 different set ups. Camburg with Icon coilovers or TC with King coilovers? Any information on this would be awesome I have a 2014 4x4 trd off road.

    Both companies make quality stuff. Id go with TC and KING shock combination. But Im bias because I like Total Chaos the most. But either kit is good. Also I prefer a King shock over an Icon.

    That's what I'm leaning towards but I was just seeing what you guys thought.

    I agree, you can actually rebuild a shock from King, email them and get real answers, and valve shims are measured by thickness in inches instead of a mystery chart

    So I shouldn't do my own LT set up like that? :D

    There is a picture of his license plate, if somebody really wanted to you might be able to get that thing taken off the streets :notsure: I'm just glad it's nowhere near me

    I have a mid travel set up from them right now and I love it but lets just say they are very proud of their product and charge a lot for them

    Total Chaos is good, but the two things I dont like are no bump strike pad and bushing inner lowers instead of heims. Camburg makes the point that if you have bushing lowers it binds much more if you have to align the lower, heims can still rotate free

    I can't say that, I've never dealt with trying to talk to them but everyone that tries to get valving help from Icon gets nowhere. King will talk you through it and I see King at major competitions ALL the time with open shock tuning for free to any competitor running King shocks. No other company does that

    *however I would run Fox or SAW if I didn't get Kings cheaper, I run Fox bumps because of price

    Agreed. I have king shocks and fox bumps due to pricing.
