    Got new SCS 16" wheels with BFG KO2 DT 285/75/16. Right after, I went to my previous alignment shop down the street. I would like some input on my alignment setting, mainly on my caster since they are .05 degrees off. Does that make any impact or should I be ok?

    Lifted on full OME suspensions w/883
    SPC UCA
    5mm trim packer on driver side.

    Thanks for your time!

    Same crap everyone else got
    You should be able to get way better caster numbers with your spc uca's then that.
    Just my opinion.

    What would the “ideal” caster setting be at? Could I just change it myself since I know what the values are now?

    You're probably going to want between 2.5-3 at least. I'm at 2.1 and 2.2 on stock upper control arms. You paid for the spc for a reason so you might as well get your money's worth.

    Thanks. I posted in another thread to see if I could get more feedback.
