    I have a 2.5" OME lift on my truck with stock UCA's and 285/70R17 tires.

    The alignment shop netted out with a <1° positive camber.

    Is that within "spec" or do I need to splurge on some UCA's to get it to be a more reasonable camber? I'm worried it looks a bit silly and will wear out the tires.

    Thanks for the help!

    I'd be more concerned about the low caster numbers. I'd definitely recommend upper control arms simce you are over 2" lift. SPC if you want to really dial it in.

    Thanks, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to this stuff. I'll look at picking up the SPC UCA and try to get the caster back in check.

    The spec on the alignment machine does call for some positive camber. That's why you have 1 degree of camber and the color behind it is green(in spec). Most here try to run zero or close to zero camber though, which I would personally want if it were my truck.
