    I just installed icon stage 4 with the tubular uca and had it aligned but had very large caster numbers. I'm set on 2 inches of lift (factory settings) with 265x75x16 tires. My question is would these large caster numbers concern any of you? Seems to drive nice but I might be suffering from heat stroke after installing this kit in the Texas heat.
    left right
    camber 0.4 - 0.3
    caster 3.6 - 4.3
    toe 0.1 - 0.1

    You want those numbers, maybe a little tighter together on the caster. Once you lift it your caster needs to be higher than stock to offset the geometry. Spec numbers would cause wandering issues. Think of caster as the forks on a bike. The further out the more stable to a certain degree. You're fine.

    Ok, thank you. I knew everyone was saying 3.0+ for caster but 4.0+ seemed really high.

    @chris4x4 response for informational purposes.
    If you get the Camber number closer to 0, the caster will lighten up. You should be over 3, so I would get the Camber to around .2*, and call it good.
