    Hey Guys need your help!!

    I have a 2/2.5 lift with aftermarket UCA and wheels/tires.

    I have lifetime alignment at Firestone so I'd like to use them but also guide them on the exact specs I want incase they dont know.
    I have been told most shops don't know how to do it correctly and will do it off stock specs.
    I wanted to know if you could help provide your specs after getting an alignment.

    Can you please help?

    In other TW posts I gather that 0/0/2.5* is ideal with 2.5 being the caster. I have closer to a 2.5/2.5 (same rake as before) with stock UCAs and I can't get the caster up. So I'll be adding an aftermarket UCA. I'm sure others will post their opinions, but from what I've read you look to be in pretty good shape.

    Does it drive well?

    When eye balling it from the front it appears my camber is way to positive and is pointing inwards. Also it pulls to the right more then usual. Alps having a strange long pulsating vibration from 40mph +

    I don’t see Anything wrong with it.. my caster is 1.5 same setup minus aftermarket ucas.

    I mean what I found is they are lazy. So if you want it dialed in more the more you go back the better it will be lol.
