    OME 884 Coils. GeneralSpringKC 90-297HD Leafs. Bilstein 5100's all around, front set at 0. Toytec 1/4" top plate on driver's side. Leer 100XR Camper Shell. OEM Bed Mat.
    I have an alignment this morning and need some advice. My set up:

    OME 887s
    5100s at 0*
    .5" spacer for drivers side
    .25" spacer for passenger
    SPC UCAs
    265 70R17 BFG K02s

    On initial install, I put the UCAs at +2* caster but my tires are still rubbing in the rear of the inner fender so I'm going to try to get the alignment tech to get me more caster.

    Right now, my front is 4" of lift which I know will settle. Does anyone think I can/should go for 3*+ of caster?

    Adding caster with the uppers will like make the rub worse. Additional caster will put the upper ball joint further back. If it's possible, the lower arm needs to be brought forward with the factory adjusters.
    I have 4° caster, but with Camburg UCAs and 31"s.

    With 4” of lift and basically a 31x10.50 you should have plenty of room.
