    I have an appointment tomorrow for an alignment and have a question. My 2017 has the 887/5100 front set up, an add a leaf in the rear and stock control arms. I’m running 285/70/17 with Ray 10’s. I do virtually no off-roading other than the odd logging road fishing trip.

    With what I’ve read, I should be trying to get as close to 0 as possible for camber and toe, and around 2.7ish for caster, does that sound correct? With the current alignment I’m getting some bump steer and wondering from the grooves in the roads. I’d like to eliminate those issues as much as possible without getting new control arms if I can. If that’s not possible, I’ll go the new control arms. Thanks.

    Tell me you aren’t going to a dealer. What you need is a front end shop that works on modded vehicles. If they are good they’ll know how to set up your front end.

    If they say new arms get them. A bad alignment will not only be expensive but down right dangerous.

    No dealer, an independent front end shop.
