Truck Feels A Bit Squirrelly Sometimes

And 2.4 degrees is awesome!! Just saying. YMMV

 

JBA seems to be one getting a lot of votes as of late. Seems like the one to avoid is SPC (and also any very-cheap no-name/unknown-name ones).

 

Hey, as long as the truck tracks straight ahead without being squirrely, that's all that matters.

 

OP thanks for posting this thread and sticking with it. I am new, too, and learning a lot. Keep us posted.

 

SR5 sicker is for 245/75/16 tires.
For 265-70-17' , OP needs to go 29 cold.
OP issue is tires for given driving habits

 

You will typically get a smoother ride with lower pressure. However, sustained driving at high speeds causes the tire to heat up more from the extra flexing at lower pressures, so the tire life is reduced.

 

I'm most grateful for the people helping out in this thread.

Drove with my tire pressure at 30 psi according to my old Jaco tire gauge, the truck always shows a couple pounds less. I felt no difference and will put them back to 35 psi tomorrow after the tires cool. I kept my other set of Toyo's at 35 psi and got 60K out of them with tread left.

I'm at 2.0 and 1.7 caster now. I really hope I can get enough with my stock UCAs, but I'll have to do what I have to do.

I'll let y'all know what happens when I get back from the tire shop Monday.

Thank you all for the patience and help!

 

My stock everything including 245/75R16 tires shows to run 32 psi, I have run from 30 up to 35 cold, I am running 35 cold now and it will jump up to 37-38 hot at speed and handles very well at high speeds...

 

Just got back from the tire shop. This is the best they could do with what I have now.

Drove it about 8 miles on US1 going 65 with 19 MPH wind gusts. Did pretty good, the true test will be in about an hour when I head south on 95.

 

I was checking it out while on the lift. Not bad for a 2018 that's drove down the beach countless times.

 

Congratulations. That does look like you got about additional .8 degree of total caster added, .4 degree less toe, and ~1.1 more camber, and seems like you noticed a positive difference on the short test drive. Let us know how the cruise down 95 goes, and if you think you will go for the upgraded UCA's.

 

Agreed! Looks real good I don't see any concerning rust anywhere.

 

It drove most good, I'm gonna leave it as is.

Thanks for the help!

 

You're welcome, Congrats again. You really stuck to it and got the alignment you needed.
