    I've been told you can adjust toe yourself with measurements but you need to get on the rack to get caster and camber correct.

    Putting this here for later:

    Screen Shot 2016-10-03 at 9.09.30 PM.jpg

    And from bjmoose:

    * If you increase caster AT THE TOP of the spindle, you decrease clearance, because that moves the spindle hub back.
    * If you increase caster AT THE BOTTOM of the spindle, you increase clearance, because that moves the spindle hub forward.
    * On the stock truck, caster and camber must be played off against each other, because the combination of eccentric cams on the lower-control-arm affects both caster and camber.
    * But the adjustability on the Light-Racings means you can set Camber at the top of the spindle, in addition to setting caster there.
    * Toe is adjusted by the tie-rod ends, and is a completely separate adjustment.

    So, to maximize clearance:

    1. First, Maximize caster using the eccentrics on the lower control arm. Do not worry about camber at this time.
    2. Reset the caster cams on the UCAs to the minimum value to bring Caster to an acceptable value. I decided to trade off a little less caster for a little more clearance here, and moved the UCA cams to the "+1" position (One degree LESS than neutral, and two degrees less than I started)
    3. Set the camber using the UCA adjustment slide.
    4. Finish off toe normally.

    Just got it back from alignment shop. No more rubbing on pavement without CMC. Looks like I have a ton of room in there now compared to what I had before.

    No, I'd taken them off, and liked the look, so they are gone

    Im happy with it so far. If you pull the trigger, get yourself 3 good 1/2" and 1/4" bits. Be patient and stay the course, you'll get them on.

    I do have some axle wrap now. A nice thud when cornering to the right at 15-25mph. I still need to investigate a bit more...

    Looks really nice.

    I haven't decided if I want to do this or not. I'll be watching to see how you like this setup...:spy:
