    Well it drives strait, but what do the numbers say? They said they couldn't get me any more caster because it would start to rub. I'd it going to be an issue that my camber is pretty different left to right?

    It uses all mini truck components yes. As far as a housing for the front that's all trail gear offers but they do carry all the parts to build one completely with no factory parts.

    Put the wheels off of my 4Runner on the Tacoma. I'll get better pictures soon, but you get the idea.

    That is awesome, I wish I could have found a Lunar Mist 04 DC, but I am really starting to like the Imperial Jade I have.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    .7 caster? :eek:

    Maybe Im missing something but I thought it should at least be 2* and up to 2.5-3.5*.

    From what I understand for lifted applications you want as much as possible. It's not going to cause a problem, but more would be better.

    Hell, I've got 0* of caster and my alignment cams are maxed.

    After 4 years, it is sagging quite a bit. Cap full time, rubber bed mat full time, then I hadded a hidden hitch Class III and am towing a small camper. When fully loaded getting a bit bro.

    I was goign to do the AAL, but I think they are past the point where that is a good idea and not worth the trouble.

    I probably should have gotten the Dakars first time around.

    I mean, look at the specified range on that spec sheet. And from what I understand, the most you're going to get out of a 3" lift on stock upper arms is 1*. Only thing that will fix mine is a new set of UCAs.

    Swapped out my saggy All-Pro expo passenger spring pack today. Props to All-Pro for sending me a new leaf pack to replace the saggy spring. Nice to have a company stand behind their products. Hard to see in picture but it was very flat next to new spring pack and sat 3/4" lower on passenger side.

    I'm a 5 lug using a lift spindle so its going to be somewhat different. 31s (which dont rub! Except at full bump and flex or when theres a fender in the way :anonymous: tire made the fender crumple out of the way ) and beating on my suspension probably doesnt help

    Maybe I should read first :eek:. Can't tell you about 5 lug alignment numbers, but I can't imagine the concepts would be too different. I know positive caster is added to 4wds to get the tire farther away from the firewall, and so it tracks better. If it drives fine I'd say leave well enough alone.
