    Hey y’all, took my 09 4x4 DCSB to get an alignment after installing 885s and 5100s set at 0. Toe and camber are good, but they could only get caster to .6* drivers side and 1* passenger side. I have stock UCAs, but thought I would be much better off than this. I had the alignment done 30 minutes after the install was completed. Do you think the springs will settle and help, or should I try another shop?

    Lifting reduces caster. You need more caster. Buy upper control arms to get it back.

    I’m fine with getting new ucas if needed. I was just surprised seeing so many people with my exact set up getting 2.5 degrees with the stock ucas but mine maxing at 1 degree. Trying to figure out what the variable is

    How much lift did the 885s give you?

    What is your current ride height? Perhaps it is too high.
