    Hey!
    So about a year ago I installed APOR's Lola with the leaf pack. I have had my truck aligned twice and the wheels re-weighted but the dang thing keeps pulling to the right and my tech has mentioned the uneven tire wear a few times. Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? My left arm is getting too swole holding the wheel in place on those 50 miles commutes haha

    Did you lift the whole truck or just the rear? Also when you did the front did you add aftermarket UCA's or stay stock?

    I dont all I know that it was in spec but I brought the front tires all the way forward to minimize rub from the 275s

    First try switching the front tires side to side. If that doesn't solve it, based on your numbers, you should have 4.0 for the left side caster to offset road crown.

    Ok, with those specs would you expect the truck to list one way? I will put her on stands and switch the front wheels

    Camber and toe at 0 or close as you can get. Caster right around 3. this is with 285's and TRD offroad wheels.

    Here's mine when I lifted. Drives perfect.

    If your tires are out of whack (wearing wrong) then the alignment is wrong. All swapping them around is going to do is wear it on the other tire. Get you truck aligned with as close to what mine shows and you'll be fine.

    There should be .5 difference on caster to offset road crown. Do the tire swap first because a tire that has a higher rolling resistance can cause a pull. This applies to tires that are in good condition.

    Willco on those specs. Truck is riding 275 bfg ko2s on 17 inch methods if that matters. My 250 dollar tires are almost halfway worn after 15k miles is the issue :/
