    Recently installed 5100s with OME 885s (stock UCAs) for about 1.5" lift and took a chance on a local alignment shop close to my work.

    Told him to aim for 2.0+ caster (specifically higher on passenger side by .2-.5) while keeping camber as close to 0.0 as possible and toe less than 0.05

    Wasn't happy with the numbers and truck pulled right. Bringing back today, but I have a feeling I'm not going to win this battle.

    Does anyone have recommendations for a COMPETENT alignment shop in N. Phoenix?

    Thanks!

    ***UPDATE: Swapped front tires to address pull. Helped some. Could be better***

    It's one of movies that was good on its own, but if you try to compare it to the original it just doesn't work. It's just kinda the same plot concept for a movie.
