    Would a long bed work for you?

    I got new tires a few months ago and it was pulling so I had the dealer do an alignment. I think is partly the tires, Cooper sttMaxx 255/85/16

    I’m not sure what you mean. Most mechanical specs have tolerances.

    Look for the service manual that’s floating around here. IIRC it was a link to a google drive. It’ll be under the section titled “Suspension: Front Wheel Alignment: Adjustment”.

    If you can’t find the manual, let me know your truck’s model code and I’ll paste it here.

    bigger tires or lift don't matter...why would they? No matter your setup your caster/camber/toe should be at factory specs bruh, and they ONLY give a range, not ABSOLUTES! When I was a tech I strived to get in the middle of that range...but it's a range, best you can get

    ...oh you're lifted 3" better run that camber -2" and caster -3...NOT

    Oh and have you heard of "google"?

    I bump up toe with bigger tires, but thats it. Usually a touch of positive camber and the most caster I can get.

    Why? pos caster results in worse handling, pos camber results in outer tire wear and worse handling also...neg camber...TO A POINT...in RACE CARS improves cornering. And anything but ZERO toe (pos or neg) results in increased tire wear! Toe is how STRAIGHT FORWARD your tires are...
    neg toe your tires are like / \
    pos toe they are like \ /
    what the hell man? what led you to this thinking?

    Spec is positive camber bro.

    Caster does not reduce ride quality, and with a slightly larger tire it lets you keep the mudflaps. I'm not saying add a full degree, I'm saying 2.5-3.0 is better than 1.5-2.0. Better highway stability, less bump steer are associated to higher caster.

    Toe opens up as you drive, so 0.00 degrees does \ / this while you push forward down the road. Bigger tires push outwards more. So you end up with negative. Also toe wears to the negative so I set it higher to wear towards zero, not to negatives.

    apologies...i hyperbole sometimes (and by sometimes I mean all the time as I hyperbole all the time apparently) and I *edit added*-->incorrectly assume others do too...you didn't mean -5 degrees camber etc etc....i see that now
