Maximum Caster w/Near Zero Camber

Hi!

After trying to jam 35's on my 2016 Tacoma with only a 2.5" lift, as one woulsguess the tires rub on the cab mount.

To get this out of the way. I've smashed the pinch weld flat and done the max cmc possible. They still rub when reversing with full lock. I'm sure off road it'll rip the cab off the frame.

With that out of the way...

How much difference does caster make? Right now I'm running around 2.5* caster and 0* camber. I'm thinking of cruising back to the alignment shop and seeing if they can get a little more caster to help with clearance.

I have an icon stage 5 with tubular uca. I don't know how much extra caster I can get leaving camber at 0*.

With that said...how much extra clearance (assuming I can even get the much) will adding another degree of caster get me?

Im sure I could calculate this myself, but perhaps someone knows a rough estimate. I don't want to pull the wheel off and measure in sub freezing temps.

 

ADD A 1" BODYLIFT AND TRY TO GET 3.0 CASTER AND YOU SHOULD BE OK.

 

you need at least 3.0 caster

 

You need over 3.0 caster. I was able to get 4.7 with 0.0 camber when adjusted for full caster just to see how far it would go on one side. Only have 285's, so backed to 3.5, 3.2 final caster with .8 and 1.0 camber. You'll need to trim fenders,too or the shitty body spacers(look like shit).

 

WHAT UCA'S DO YOU HAVE??

 

Sweet. I'll give the alignment shop another go.

I've already trimmed a couple inches from the fender. The flare. And max cmc. So all that's left is alignment.

 

Bump where you able to get more castor out of it. I did a 3 in lift with all pro uca. Took it to the alignment shop and they said they only can get .8 extra on my castor. Went from 2.1 to 2.9 trying to find solution

 

same delimma, going to a suggested alignment shop in my area, I have 2.7* allegedly. well see. If not light racing uca's are going to be purchased, bummer because the camburgs I got I really like.

 

I just got 5 degrees of caster and 0.5deg of camber with camburg UCAs. Preload set at 2.5in.

 

Got 3.9/4.1 after the realignment then trimmed my ass off along with pinchweld beating, all gtg

 

You could completely relocate your CMC back a few inches

How big of a tire were you trying to stuff?

 

285/70/17.....but the rim is 8.5 wide with 4.3 bs and -10mm os, so....
