What do y'all think of these CV angles and alignment numbers?

    I've got a 2008 DCLB with 5100s all the way around, OME 885s, and toytec add a leaf in the rear. Method standard wheels and 285/70/17 ko2s. These are my CV angles post lift. What do you guys think? Will this give me any problems?

    Also here is a photo of my alignment numbers on stock UCAS. How bad is it?

    Seems to ride perfect but I'm no expert when it comes to alignment numbers and don't want to have to deal with torn boots. I replaced the CVs on both side while doing the lift so they are new. What would aftermarket arms do for me?

    Angles dont actually look too bad on the CVs

    But you changed the geometry of the suspension and could be corrected with a propper upper

    The angles don't look bad to me.

    I'd try for better on alignment but ultimately the question is (1) do you wear out tires and (b) is it unstable, wandering, etc.

    I normally try to sell my tires and wheels at 50% tread wear and just upgrade the whole set and the ride is perfect as far as I can tell. Just dont want the tires to be worn strange for the next guy. Mainly I don't want to be replacing CV boots all the time.

    FWIW, I run FOX coil overs and Camburg ball joint type UCA, about 2" of lift. This is post-lift alignment numbers.

    Again, not an expert but mine doesn't seem much different but I'm at 3 inches of lift.

    None.

    This was with OME 884s and 1/4" top plate spacers, so essentially an 885 coil and stock UCAs.

    Yeah, I apologize. I was looking at your before numbers. Looks alright to me post-dope slap of myself.

    That's the main reason I'm trying to figure out why the arms are worth the cash people throw at them. $500+ from what I've seen.

    Some arms have less correction when they're approaching 3" of lift.

    Camburg BJs are one of them.

    Clearance around my coil overs for me and secondarily the little bit of extra built-in caster to make alignments less fussy.

    I've got plenty of room between my tires and coilovers but that could be the difference in wheels I assume.
