    Good morning folks. Below is my alignment specs after bilstein 5100 install on my 2015 with fronts set at 1". Truck looks and feels great. Caster a bit on the high side. Please advise if any concerns.

    I think it looks great. Higher caster isn't such a bad thing. It probably drives pretty good at highway speeds?

    Justin is right, your caster will be slightly off when raising the suspension. It isn't a bad thing, but overall everything seems in spec.

    I had similar specs after doing a 1inch lift on the front (6112's). The dealer set the alignment to what was within spec, but I had visible positive camber. I took it to a different shop, and got the camber dialed to .01 & .00. Caster was still above 2* on both sides as well.

    I have visible positive camber, but it really doesn't bother me that bad unless you stare at it. :rofl:

    Did you replace front and rear shocks? and, are you running stock rear springs?

    I'm wanting to do something similar but not with a "lift". Still looking at a rear spring package.

    Thanks. I thought the 5100's had a .85" setting as well. Is the next one 1.0"? Either way, it sounds like it's time for me to upgrade.
