    I have a Toytec BOSS adjustable lift set at 2.0" so the truck is level with the 1.5" rear AAL with no rake and want to get my truck aligned again but want to have some perfect specs to meet. I work at a BMW dealer and one of the techs will be doing it there again so he said to just give me exact specs and he will get it there or as close as possible. What are the Castor, Camber and Toe values that will extend tire life and make the truck turn well on the road? Thanks in advance! As of right now when I'm in 2WD and make a turn on pavement full-lock I do get some heavy binding but that could just be the sticky BFG KO'2s on the asphalt.

    P.S. Do not comment in the thread if you have anything to say about "YOU NEED TO GET AFTER MARKET UCA'S" orrrrrrr " JUST GO BY THE FACTORY SPECS" because I DO NOT need aftermarket UCA's and the factory specs have such a huge range its kinda ridiculous.

    Thanks guys!

    Toe - just a smidge of toe in ( 1/16th - 1/8th of an inch less width at the front of the tires from centerline to centerline vs the rear)
    Camber - just a smidge of negative camber (top of the wheel in) .3-.5* (this allows the tires to wear evenly)
    Caster = AS MUCH AS YOU CAN GET with keeping a good camber number

    None yet but in the works!
    Just go by the factory specs. A good mechanic will set to factory specs, test drive, and adjust if nessary.

    You can't get "optimal" alignment specs. The best you can get is "within spec".

    0 toe
    0 camber
    3* caster

    Would be my idea of "optimal", but you can't get that with stock control arms.
