    Why not go higher on the caster? From what I understand from reading our trucks lifted do better at 3-4 degrees of caster. That'll also push the wheels slightly further forward and may help with that rubbing.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Is that what it is? I had it in my head 2-3*... Firestone can be tough at first the guy was like "oh the problem with lifted trucks is we can only adjust toe so you can get the lifetime warranty but it'll only cover toe.

    I was like "bro, it's the factory lower arm. All the adjustments are the same."

    But even then they are tough to get them to do alignment outside factory numbers. I need to find one with a flexible tech who'll take a little suggestion

    The one in Downey does good. @Yotamac said the one by his house does too, can't remember where though

    I'm at nearly 4* my steering is a little heavier but it's smooth which is nice.

    The firestone in Mira Mesa may not be the best alignment out there, but they don't mind lifted trucks "as long as it fits on the rack" and I always request 3* or higher. Every time I'm set 3* or higher so no complaints there.

    I'm going to have get try getting mine set a 3* soon. Not sure if its cause of the skinnier tires but it's wondering like crazy now. Any input?

    The higher caster is causing that. The skinnier tires might add too it, but set your caster at 3-4* and you won't wander as much.

    I'm trying to remember about the time I got it done in La Habra... He told me the same thing "As longa s it fits on the rack" and if there isn't too much travel to get it off the ground :devil:

    I have them on my truck with no LT setup :D

    Super easy. Three small bolts on top. One on the bottom.

    Also remove the swaybar you don't need that :thumbsup:

    Did you custom order the coilovers from King with resis? I couldn't find anything but just the coilovers on every website I checked (HS, DSM, Toytec, etc.).

    Definitley removing the sway bar when the Kings go on, haven't yet because the 881s are only rated at the stock 500lbs. Also putting on the full Budbilt skids I picked up too on the same day hopefully

    Yeah the Kings I got up front are 2.5s so that should be more than sufficient for me, never had much interest in the go-fast stuff myself but it'll be nice to at least be able to somewhat keep up with @Mike likes Tacos now haha.
