    Yes, another aligment thread. I had a set of All Pro upper controls and a new set of 5100's installed on my 2010 2wd 4 door long bed. Took ot to an aligment shop and I'm not happy with the numbers and not sure if the spec numbers are right.
    Anybody has the original specs for my truck? Or tell me if this numbers look good.
    The guy told me that all I should cares is that the toe is at 0.:notsure:

    Yeah because caster and camber aren't important. :rolleyes:

    I would want less negative camber, but it looks pretty good to me. Does it drive nice? :notsure:

    Thank you guys. It drives very nice, I'm so glad that I finally changed it. After I came home and started to look at the numbers I got concerned about the camber for example, the left is off, but I'm not sure how important it is. Also the spec numbers seem to be different of what I have seen online and the guy stated I have 18" wheels n tires and I have 17" wheels n tires ( not sure if this is makes a difference).
    I'll wait a couple of months for the suspension to settle and I'll do the alignment again. I need to find a place that deals with this kind of stuff and it's willing to spend some time to leave it as close as spec or as close as possible.

    He's got your tire size all screwed up, but that won't make a difference. Having a little bit of negative camber is going to wear the inside of the tires slightly faster.

    Those numbers are excellent. That little bit of camber isn't going to do squat to promote uneven tire wear.

    He won't notice it for quite some time, but it will definitely wear the inside of the tire faster. I'd say in 10k miles you'll see it.

    Thank you guys. I had the spacer lift for 20k miles, 4wheelsparts installed it and did the aligment but I never got the print out and the wear on the tires is even as even can be. I also rotate my tires every 5k. This time since I had the UCA's 4wheelparts didn't want to install them so I took it to Yotamasters and they don't do alignment.
    Ill drive it for 3k and take it to 4wheelparts to do the aligment again after the suspension settles a bit, also the stering wheel is a little crooked and my OCD is kicking in.

    If it's uneven wear showing up that quickly it's more than likely due to excessive toe in or out.

    ~1* of negative camber will absolutely, definitely wear the inside of the tires faster regardless of toe. This is not a guess. This is fact. Ask google if you don't believe me.

    It won't be dramatic, especially if you rotate often, but it will definitely be noticeable towards the end of the tires life. You're shifting the weight of the car towards the inside of the tire instead of spreading it out evenly across the entire tire. This will definitely affect how the tire wears.

    A little update,
    I just drove the truck again since I came home on Friday and the steering wheel feels like jelly, I can feel everything on the road but not firm like before. Now it feels like softly it copies every imperfection on the road. Leaving a parking space on reverse and turning left it rubs (didn't do it before). Parked and told my friend to turn left and I can put my fingers in between the outside edge of the tire and the bump of the inner fender that is the part that sticks out the most actually is part of the mud flaps. Shouldn't it rub going forward?? It use to rub there only if I was breaking and turning at the same time coming down on a very step driveway.
    Also before while turning I didn't feel any pulling now it pull to go straight or after a point it pulls to turn.
    Any thoughts?
