    Do these alignment numbers look ok after being lifted 2" and UCAs installed? I feel like when I look at my truck from the front, the tires look to be a V now. Like the tops are out more than the bottom, a lot of positive caster// It drives fine, it looks a little odd to me.

    What you are describing is positive camber.

    All of your numbers look really good to me, even your camber. I would imagine the truck drives great. Post a pic if you are still worried.

    Maybe I'm just not used to it with adding the UCAs. It drives great. I'll post a pic as soon as I can. In the middle of painting right now.:mad:

    Camber should be closer to 0 or 0.2. Once lifted these trucks need specific alignment. .6 camber will definitely show positive and will wear tires.

    Put a level on them. While they are not 0 (so won't be perfectly plumb), you may be experiencing parallax

    But if it was mine, I'd want the caster equalized at the max possible, then the camber set as close to 0 as possible

    Not very good pics, but it doesn't look as bad on flatter ground. May have just been a weird angle in my driveway. The tops are kicked out some, but it does drive good. More worried about early tire wear. I may take it back and have them realign it.

    Doesn’t look to bad. IMO I would redo alignment have them shoot closer to 0 or 0.2 of camber. With Upper control arms they should be able to achieve that.

    Sounds good. I will do that. I put a level on the tires after I parked it in the same spot as I was yesterday, and top dead center of each tire was almost perfectly level.

    The more the rear sits down the more camber in the front will show. Do you have any rear lift for the cap?

    I put 5100s on the rear. I was tired of waiting for 5160s to come in. I may swap out to the 5160s when I get a chance. The 5100 are pretty stiff.

    5160s won't be any less stiff so don't buy them for that reason only. I had some 6112/ 5160s on my truck. The valving is digressive so the handling is good, but regarding comfort you'll feel more small bumps and road imperfections vs stock trd off road. Don't get me wrong, they are great shocks and better than 5100s if you're heavy/do higher speed off roading.

    About your camber, yeah I agree with those who said it'd be better at 0 degrees than 0.5. This really only matters more if you do alot of driving straight (on the highway for example). It's still within the middle of the acceptable specs. It's just a matter of personal preference. Rotate your tires every 5,000 and you'll be happier regardless.

    The 5100s are stiff but not unbearable. I do have a shell and RTT, that I don't have on at the moment, but is usually on there. Not really into high speed off roading. Just wanted better suspension than the stock off road. Just sold my JK because the wife's back couldn't take the pounding anymore. Usually trail cruise to campsites away from the masses and some wheeling and camping up in the Eastern Sierra's. I had 5100 on my old Tundra and they were definitely stiff. Thought since the 5160s were made toward running with the 6112's I have up front, it may make the ride better. I am going to take my truck back and see if they can get the camber a little closer to 0. If not no biggie. I do more around town driving and I always rotate at 5000 miles. Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
