    60F6C7B9-9151-4FA5-82D4-FCF429BB989A.jpg I just lifted the truck and I feel like I have a slight positive camber? But that’s just from looking at the truck.. I took it in for an alignment and i have not clue how to read this alignment sheet :frusty: is anything off??

    Camber could be better and Caster is way short. Looks to me like if your adjuster cams are not froze up then you could use a set of adjustable upper control arms. I'd say right now it probably requires a lot of steering correction when driving , get up above three degrees caster and it will feel like it almost steers its self perfectly . I used Light Racing uppers and have more adjustability in any direction than I can probably ever need but its nice to have the option VS preset uppers

    They didn't give a shit. All numbers in red show they are out of spec. The individual didn't even do the minimum that most shops do of getting every thing in the green. But that is not even good enough. Where in So Cal are you?

    Sounds like you got a pretty large lift and your running stock UCAs. Technically not the shops fault lol

    So I did the 5100+888 which have mixed reviews on lift but I guess the average is around 2.5” ...I of course forgot to measure beforehand :frusty: so I don’t really know how much it went up lol. I guess I should just invest in some UCA’s.

    I guess to be fair I’m on the stock UCAs. I’m in LA, I hear RPM is a good place?

    If you want a good alignment. Firestone in Downey and there is a place in Torrance called Bear alignment, they also have a couple of locations.

    You need adjustable control arms. Your alignment could be way better but its not the shops fault.
