    What do you guys think about these numbers? When I move the steering wheel completely to either side, mainly the driver's side, the steering wheel pulls in instead of returning to center. I have to return it manually for at least half turn. Maybe I should lower the caster to 3°? My truck is a 2WD and is lifted with Maxtrac spindles and 1.5 coils. According to Maxtrac, since this way doesn't change the suspension geometry, it should be aligned per the manufacturer's specs. But I don't like the positive camber! + camber looks ugly on lifted Tacomas.

    Set camber to zero (0) which should reduce caster a bit but also make it steer better without pulling.

    Or deal with a crappy driving experience and keep your alignment where it is for style points.
