How is my alignment after lift?

Yep Thats what I was thinking.

 

And by the way, im dropping my truck back off to get aligned. i was really nice when talking to them and they said they will take a look and see if they can get better numbers.
I also called a dealership about 30 miles away that sells new Tacomas with Rev tech 3 inch lifts, and they said that almost never do they have any problems with alignment. Sometimes he said the take the front mudflaps off because they put 285 tires on and they rub, but thats about it.
So we'll see how Goodyear does, and if its more of the same, I will take it to the dealership 30 miles away and see what they come up with, since they have tons of experience with Tacomas with lifts and alignments.
thanks for all your help guys!

 

i hope it works out for you! i had my dealer that also does these lifts do my alignment and they said the same thing. the problem it if you look at the sheet i posted from cap Toyota in Salem Oregon they are happy with the numbers and told me it is fine! it seems to drive nice but if you look at the front of the truck they do not look so nice i will post pictures of my tires and you will see what i mean. again Toyota told me this is with in specification i do not need to do anything else it is OK??? i think i will have very bad tire wear the way it is.

 

so here are a couple pictures of my truck the tire seems to really lean to the outside
what do you all think?

 

i can not believe a toyota dealer did my alignment and told me it was ok!!

 

I dropped the truck off this morning to see if they could get the camber any better. They said to not bank on it, but will see if there is anything they can do.
If they cant do any better, Im gonna take it to the dealer.
Nice choice of tires 225nontypical, but yeah, looks like you have about the same positive camber as me.

 

First Alignment: was within specs, but everyone commented on Camber and how bad it was, and I could tell by looking that the top of the wheel was top out.


So I took it back to see if they could get the camber more ideal


Second Alignment: adjusted to get better Camber, and through the Caster out of Spec



Now what do i do? Get a second opinion and have another alignment done to get everything back to the way it was so everything is within spec again?
DAMN!

 

call fat bobs and order the LR UCA i just did. i have spent 3 days researching this and it is the only way to get it truly right! by the way fat bobs shipped mine today for 396.00 to my door that was shipping and all! no one else was even close to that price that i found.

i wish i would have found/researched this a lot more i would have done a different lift on my truck and probably saved some money. i will be $900.00 into a spacer lift when i am done with the UCA install and 3rd alignment.

I guess it depends on how worried you are about having a good alignment huh.
Im thinking that maybe I was better off being within spec, and not so concerned about the Camber.
Im happy with my lift, but may have gone a tad higher in the front if I knew it was going to be like this too!

 

personally i want it to spec and not just ok but right on that is why i ordered the new UCA's. with the camber off the tires will wear funny, and i am very picky about my truck so if it does not look right i am not ok with it. bottom line for me it just has to be right period.
good luck.

 

Well.. you know... I have only had the front lift on for about 4oo miles and im willing to bet the coils will settle a bit after 2,000-3,000 miles and the caster may go back into specs.( maybe not ideal, but back within spec)
Im willing to sacrifice the Caster # to get better camber to save my tires from wearing on the outside.
So Im not jumping to new UCA's until after I have drove my truck around a while and see how it behaves, and after a few thousand miles I will get my alignment checked at the dealer and see if I will still have a pretty good camber number, and get the caster back into spec.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions and teaching me about alignments!
I LOVE TW!!!!
