    Just installed Eibach pro lift. Have “2.5 lift in front and “1 block in rear. Also replaced upper control arms with tuff country and replaced lowers with stock due to being worn. Also installed 265/70/18 Firestone at2 tires.

    Right away noticed the tires were rubbing on the mud flaps/cab. Got on an alignment rack(I work in shop) and was able to get camber and toe to pretty much 0 degrees but caster was set to 5.3 and 5.5 in order to stop the rubbing. Truck drives great but am I going to have issues with that much caster? Is the new upper control arms causing this? Thanks

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    Just won’t corner as well, but you are going to pull with the crown in the road being dead on. You have to offset with caster or camber to account for it. The longer the wheelbase the more the truck wants to track straight.

    Yea I think brining the right side caster closer to 5.8 will achieve that? I had it as high as 6 but lowered it as the left side was maxing out at 5.3. I’m just curious why it’s so high. I get that I’m trying to fit a bigger tire but I don’t hear ov anyone else going higher than 4.5 caster or even being able to if they wanted too
