    A bad tire but I think the other guy had it correct that's it's down to a camber imbalance.

    The reason you didn't is because we post things like this (sorry, I mean no offense):)


    We have to stop making guys think they can get a satisfactory result without UCAs. They will not....and only piss away a bunch of time and money (plus tire wear) chasing an unattainable decent alignment.

    Get them and be done with it! By then you will have heard of a good shop that can get it right.

    There are many good choices. I went with these and like em a lot.

    You don't mean to offend me but you sure sound like a jackass. I obviusly didn't know that I needed UCA's. I believe I mentioned that I'm new to trucks. If I would have known I wouldn't have wasted time nor would I have posted a thread about my issue. Please don't remind me of the people I would deal with on bmw forums. thanks

    EASY BIG GUY. This statement "The reason you didn't is because we post things like this" refers to the quote that followed it (the one you conveniently left out), not your statement above it. Poorly written on my part.

    Anyway, we (TW members) do a disservice when we lead guys who have not lifted to believe they can get a satisfactory result lifting >2 inches or so without adding UCAs.

    The person I did not want to offend was evanmb31, whose quote I used in my post.

    If you had read time after time that "UCAs will definitely be needed going >2 inches", rather than something like " it might work without them", you may have been able to plan your lift better.

    I was trying to help you man. You have been through a lot of trouble that UCAs as part of your original lift probably would have solved. Sucks to have to spend that extra 500 bucks, but that is what it takes and guys need to be able to plan that big extra cash outlay. Good luck, and I hope you get it aced.

    After all the help I got from you guys, I decided to order the Camburg UCA's. I'm getting them for a good price straight from the company. I'll post an update after they're installed

    Too few to list.
    Those numbers are pretty close to mine. My caster is set at 2.4L and 2.5R.

    Satoshi'd grill. blacked out badges. aftermarket sound system. De-chromed and color matched. OME 885s + Dakars with 3rd leaf removed. LR UCAs. Scs stealth 6 with 285 duratracs. BAMF sliders
    No offense taken, thanks for being respectful because as you can see butthurt happens quick here :)i usually recommend getting UCA's to begin with. I did, i installed LR UCAs when i installed my lift. That quote was a little out of context as you can see i was answering his question after i recommend aftermarket UCAs.
