    I will def. give them the specs to shoot for. Since I dont have new UCAs yet, I wont be ablet to get it "perfect". However, just as you said.. They should be able to get in the ball park anyhow

    IIRC, the most caster I ever had before getting UCAs with 5100s set at 2.5 was 1.2 or 1.5 with camber still being right. Toe shouldn't be an issue for them to get right. The caster being off won't wear tires but will wear on your nerves with all that twitchy feelin shit but is tolerable for awhile until getting UCAs...only because there is not tire wear tho.

    Oddly enough, it doesnt drive bad. I was on I95 doing around 70 and it didnt feel horrible. It also could be I'm so used to driving it F***ed up that I dont notice, lol.

    Hopefully I can get my caster to 1.5+ and camber near 0. Toe from what I am reading here is survivable at .3 or .5 as it is (0 is best i take it)

    Rubbing has stopped on the Cab mount, but its time to hit up the front plastic again.

    Yea, definitely better on round 2. I'll be ordering some new UCAs in a month or two so I can get it perfect. I was very pleased when they didnt charge me anything to "fix" the alignment.
    Trimmed the little bit of plastic out of the front I needed to get rid of the rub. Haven't rubbed on the Cab Mount yet at all, not even in reverse on full lock!

    Looks much better. About as good as can be until getting the UCAs. How does the caster feel? Shouldn't be crazy bad annoying.
