    Yes its a truck, and a car is a car. Any wandering would make me feel unsafe at highway speeds no matter what im driving. If your distracted for a second it could wander enough into the other lane and kill someone. I don't take that shit lightly

    Thats a bit drastic. But whatever you win for the sake of not arguing.

    Its not drastic at all! I work in an emergency room and see a ton of car accidents come in and over half are from someone being distracted and drifting into the other lane. You don't think it'll happen to you until it does

    The drifting your thinking of and the wandering I mean so little wandering it would take 5 minutes before you needed to correct wandering are not even the same. Yes accidents happen but someone at the control of their vehicle regardless of whether its aligned correctly or not should manage to not drift into the other lane, the wheel just dosent force you or pull you.

    @DCSBFTMFW here's my specs from today's alignment on my 15, just like my 11, right caster slightly out of spec, everything else is in spec on factory UCAs again I wouldnt fret too much about aftermarket UCAs, some people here are ridiculous with some stuff. I am running 3'' of lift from toytec eibach/5100/aal setup.

    No 6 for me I considered the 4.5 RCD but I urge you to do your research on Drop Bracket lifts. I also was told by a few service advisors no questions asked on 3'' lifts under powertrain warranty after I had a leak on my 11 on the driver side from the diff which they replaced no problem with my 3'' lift and gave me a loaner, but he said higher than 3'' its hard to get approval through Toyota.

    3'' set ups are better for off roading as well. 6'' is more for looks, its all about what you need/want.

    Same fab, you have to cut crossmember to allow for spindle/lift.
