    Hey everyone...I need and alignment and maybe ball joints and shit. When I took it in to the alignment specialist, he asked me what specs come with the bilstein 5100 shocks on 33 12.5 15 tires? I asked him what he meant and he said they can't align it to factory standards...blah blah blah, do I need different alignment specs for the truck or can I use factory specs?

    Need more info about your setup. Do you have aftermarket UCAs? Are you using stock coils or aftermarket to lift and how high?

    I believe they're stock ucas, aftermarket shocks and 3 in lift

    Usually it's said to get as much caster (2.5-3*) to keep the wheel returning to center easily and toe and camber at zero.

    So caster 2.5-3...toe and camber at 0? Foe bilstein shocks, 3 inch lift, stock ucas, and old man emu medium weight coils?

    In my experience, the only way to get that caster with 3" is new (aftermarket)UCA's.
