    I used to sleep in a ground tent, or even just in a bag beside the river. But I was younger then. My kids enjoy sleeping in their tents now, and that's cool. The RTT has been good, but some mornings I wake up with a lot of pain in my hip from it. :censored: this getting older shit. I still love getting out, getting to the water and the mountains, cooking over a campfire at night, but when it comes time to go to sleep, I am at a point in my life where I want to do it comfortably. And campers don't squeak late at night like leaf springs on the truck do. :thumbsup:

    Should’ve seen me mathing in my head while driving to work. Typed it up once I was at my desk. Lol.

    find a new alignment tech.

    you should have another degree of caster in both sides, your guy is getting you “in spec” of a stock suspension truck, which you no longer have.

    you can do it two ways, IMO

    1) right side caster +.5*-ish more than left side, camber and toe both ZERO
    2) caster equal both sides, toe at ZERO, left camber +.5*, right camber at ZERO.

    The rear is fine, you’re dog legging a tad, but not horrible.

    Thanks! And this should fix the pulling?

    With that low of a caster it may be more of a "floating/drifting" at higher speeds than a pull, but your left camber is .4* higher as well which should be fixed and could be causing the issue.

    Ok thanks. I'm going to drive it for a bit and let things settle. Then I'll get it in the shop and play with the numbers.

    Going camping this weekend. It'll be the first time I've taken a trailer for camping stuff lol. 5 guys in my truck and a couple of them wanted to take kayaks so here we are! We'll also have all the firewood, beer coolers, food coolers, crap and stuff for 11 guys too so I guess it's needed this time. I'd hate to see these guys backpacking!

    Recently I learned that Texas is all private land for hunting. Blew my mind.

    Doesn't glamping have heat and AC for that? We just some firewood to keep us warm! We're going to Hamilton branch state park. I think just getting 5 people in one vehicle adds too much stuff for a 5ft bed

    Got a backyard to pitch a tent? :drevil: I do that with my boys when we can't get away and they love it.

    It really is crazy.

    I learned this when I went to San Antonio recently and was looking up places to go wheeling. :(

    Hamilton Branch was pretty good. One of the few we’re going back to.
