    I love it!

    I put spacers under my truck, then went out and bashed the Be-geeeezus out of it, drove around with the front end out of alignment, and I wore out my tires... SURELY it MUST be the spacers.

    So....Ya think you could put a $3500 lift under a truck, bash it against the rocks for a year, drive around without aligning the front end once in a while, and NOT wear out tires and have "issues".

    Oh wait.....I know! It's George Bush's fault too!

    Yeah because 1.6 caster is fantastic!

    Seriously, you're in the minority if you think that's a desirable caster setting. Keep the insults coming though. You're almost winning.

    Your spacers won't cause one wheel to wear like that, something else is broken.

    I'd start by checking ball joints, just grab the UCA and try to move it. Then lift the tire off the ground and see if its the steering tie rod or a wheel bearing.

    I made the same mistake on mine (spacers and no UCAs), you'll recover :)

    Reading comprehension failure. "Pretty damn well" is subjective, if you would care to reread. Could it have been better with aftermarket UCA's, yes. Was it worth it to upgrade, no. Plenty of people are riding around on their stock UCA's with your definition imperfect alignment, but if it works then it works. You cannot make a blanket statement saying "all" trucks will align unsatisfactorily with stock UCA's and 3+ inches, but dudes like you always seem to try. It's pretty cute by the way, good luck with your future endeavors.

    I'm curious as to what has been twisted around, if that is aimed at me.
