    Just got my LR UCA's in today.

    I was wondering whether I should install them set at 0 and tighten it all up and then drive it to the alignment shop, or if I have to take it to somewhere that will install and align all at once.

    I heard that you should set them at 0 and then take it into an alignment shop and then they will readjust it to your liking but I am not concrete on that.

    Currently running Bilstein 5100's all around, front set at 1.75 but will bump them up to 2.5 once I get the UCA's installed.

    What are the best alignment specs with this setup and what should I set them at? I want to get 33's and not have to get the cab mount chop.

    caster 2.5, rest closest to 0 as possible I believe is the desired alignment spec. might want to do more searching and/or others to chime in on that.

    i saw that thread, but i was still confused...

    it said that he was showing how to adjust the cams on the uca's, so did he install the uca's set at 0 and tighten everything up and then bring it to alignment to loosen bolts up and adjust there?
