    I hope you didn't pay for that alignment. It looks like they didn't do a thing to it.

    Your truck probably pulls hard to the left.

    I have my truck set to the following:

    Both sides
    Camber - 0.0
    Caster - 2.6
    Toe - 0.0

    Did they not charge you or at least give you a discount since they did basically nothing?

    This may help you understand it a bit.

    Do you have seized alignment cams ?

    Did you get new UCA's when you added your lift ?

    Yeah I got new UCAs installed with my lift....I'm not sure if they are seized or not I'm dumb when it comes to alignment crap....it's just upsetting this can't be done right even with Light Racing UCAs

    Did you preset the UCA's at install ? Do the alignment guys have the instruction sheet ?

    Interesting that the camber varies so much especially considering it doesn't look like they either could or tried to move the alignment cams

    I paid for it the first time I installed the lift I went back cause I switch my leaf springs in rear and it caused my steering wheel to no off cause it leveled the truck when before it had a lean...they straightened the steering wheel but that's is I'm surprised he let it go like that I would of paid for it again to be correct

    My major concern is tire wear I just also bought Duratracs which cost a pretty penny...I'm just going to have to find another shop to do it maybe Salt Lake City will have better options then my town when I travel this weekend

    they didnt align anything. before / after show no changes made.

    SAI is NOT adjustable so you can kinda ignore that. but caster is off so is your camber it should be similar on both sides.

    Yes anything is possible when stock and especially after modifying the truck with a lift.

    There are a ton of variables that play in to why your alignment looks the way it does and how it will look 5 years down the line.
