    On our '23 SR5 I did a 2" spacer lift F&B, Spidertrax 1.5", and 275/75/R16 tires. Then took it to Les for an alignment and below is the results. Now there is a slight pull to the left most noticeable above 50mph. Thoughts?

    IMO caster. Camber and toe look good. Others will chime in.

    It’ll always want to go to the side with more caster. And those caster numbers are atrocious

    I asked them to get the castor to +3 and they said they couldn't with the stock UCA's.

    Yeah they’re not wrong. That’s probably all the positive caster they can get out of it at that height. They can at least even it out for the pull though.

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    1. Caster to 3.5* +/- 0.5* (More is better, 3.8* is ideal) For stock Upper control arms, caster must be maxed as much as possible.


    1. Camber and Toe must be to factory spec as close to Zero as possible.


    1. Torque alignment cam nuts/bolts to
    1. 19mm or 3/4" hardware, 110ft#'s
    2. 22mm or 7/8" hardware, 130ft#'s


    1. Tech notes: to maximize caster point the 2 rear cams(caster cams) in at each other and the 2 front cams(camber cams) facing away from each other. This will get maximum caster and camber can be adjusted accordingly from there. The alignment cams cannot be facing down at all as they won’t make contact with the ears.

    Went to LS and had it redone. Much better. Caster is still below what I wanted. Its the max they could get with stock UCA's.
