    He is saying if you move the ubj forward to clear firewall you lose caster. I have mine set for maximum firewall clearance and have only 1.7* caster. And if you move them you need another alignment. On those tires you should not need more clearance.

    He's running wheel spacers. That's why he's having issues.

    Relax buddy... Just trying to help you if you are rubbing on the mudflaps. Taking caster away at the uca will bring the tire forward away from the mudflaps.

    it still rubs with them off, somebody told me to put the caster at 2.5 to 3 and that's what I told them now it rubs worse. it should have been -2.5 to -3 caster , I just blew 130 dollars for nothing

    lol you need to go to an actual alignment shop that knows what they are doing.

    You should have ZERO issue to get no rub with 265/75R16's on TRD beadlocks (WITHOUT SPACERS) with the numbers i gave ya.

    The alignment tech can move the whole wheel assembly forward with the LCA, then compensate for camber n caster (mainly camber number) by sliding the ball joint and or spinning it.
