    Also note the negative caster.

    It's a tradeoff with the LCA cams.

    Yes, but only half a degree on the driver side. If they could get it both sides camber to -0.5 or higher I'd be happy.

    I fully understand what you're saying, and believe you're probably going to be right. But I still think it's worth a try.
    :fingerscrossed:

    Like I said, I run a degree or two of negative camber for this exact reason and like it.

    Worth it to me, maybe not for others.

    How many degrees of caster are you getting with that camber setting?

    My pile is bent and beaten, and I do my own alignments, which is less than precise, and worry about caster the least. :anonymous:

    Last time I measured accurately it was around 2.5. Before the UCA I was lucky to have any positive caster. Stuff is bent. :D

    Was under the truck changing oil yesterday and noticed I have an oil leak. Engine in nasty. It's a pretty slow leak judging by the fact that I lost very little on the dipstick. Still bothers me.

    Have a crazy couple weeks coming up. After that I'll try to clean it up and see where it's coming from. First guess is the oil pan gasket.

    I can tell you one thing for sure... if I have to drop the front diff to get the oil pan out, I sure as hell am not going to be putting the original 4.30 diff back in after all that work. :spy:

    Diff honestly isn't that hard to drop. Takes me about 25 minutes, but I've done it 5 times now lol.
    But I guess if you were planning on regearing anyway then go for it! 4.88s?

    That's what I've been doing for the last year... tiny valve cover leak. Haven't even had to add oil because by the time I need to change it it isn't low enough to worry about
