    I beg to differ. With bigger and especially wider tires you want more positive camber to offset the tendancy of the truck to tramline along with if you have less offset to the rims than stock you'll be moving the scrub radius of the tires further away from the intended zone causing more wandering. For toe I've found 0.02" to be okay but will be a little bit wander-y at highways speeds and 0.06" total toe to drive great but will start to wear the outter edges if you're not on top of your tire rotations

    My front hub to fender measurement dropped from 20.75+” new to 20.5” at 800 miles. So camber will come down quickly with it.

    Had same issue. To the point where I could see the outer edges of the tires feathering within 5,000 miles. Brought it to Smithtown Toyota, where "they " aligned it. I rotated the tires and with 2500 miles same issue. Went to Guelphi alignment in Slip and the owner did it. First off I could see the difference right off the bat. Conditioned corrected. Submitted receipt to Smithtown Toyota , and they mailed me a check for a full refund.

    LED interior, license plate, and fog lights. More to come.
    Problem is the tech at the dealer is flat rate so "if it's in the green it's good".

    I'm assuming IFS trucks come with a slight amount of positive camber so that it doesn't go too negative when the truck is carrying a payload, but I never really thought about it until just now. I lot of seemingly annoying aspects of trucks (e.g. rake, harsh ride quality) can be explained by thinking about a truck's primary purpose. It seems silly to me to modify the truck to get rid of them, unless you never carry a payload.
