    Bilstein 5100's/Toytec 620 coils, rear AAL, Camburg UCA's, Pro Comp 7069, AFE stage 2 CAI, Blacked Depo Headlights
    So after installing my 2.5" lift last month, I took my truck into Les Schwab to get a new alignment. Are my specs good to go now? Or should I ask for more caster next time? I have been having some bump steer and pulling going on pretty much all the time. I know that a little more caster is probably necessary, but when I asked the tech if the caster they gave me was enough he just said "its right within factory spec, you dont have a huge lift so more caster isnt necessary.." The thing is I dont know if hes just giving me the runaround or if he actually is right. As of now I am running 5100s set at 2.5 with stock coils. Will be upgrading to the toytec/eibach 620s soon, so I want to figure out what specs I need before my next alignment. I do have some pretty bad tire wear (will need new tires this summer most likely) but I cant tell if my problems are coming from tires, alignment specs, or a combo of both. Any help would be much appreciated.


    The specs may be hard to read, so Ill write them too.

    Dude, what is up with the toe on your left and right rear? It's a .45 degree difference.

    I would want to see more caster and less camber. Upper 2's for caster and get camber down around 0.

    It's decent and in spec but not what I'd be happy with if I did it.
