Here is the latest on the lift/tires. I took it to the shop to get aligned last night and picked it up tonight - I'll spare you guys the part of me getting frustrusted and the part where the desk guy told me that if the camber was out of spec that the tires would not wear unevenly - oh and the part where the truck was in 4 low when I drove away.
That being said, the caster was right on with the new c bushings that came with the lift kit. The toe was off but was easily adjusted within spec. The only thing that was off - and still off - is the camber. The right front is .8 degrees and the left front is .3 degrees. The spec says it should be within 1-2 degrees. I read that I want to be closer to the 1 degree mark. The cross camber is within spec at .5 degrees (I'm not sure what that is and neither was the desk guy). Can anyone shed some light on if I should be worried with this amount of camber? I know there are a couple options to fix the camber - shims or an adjustable ball joint.... Any knowledge is appreciated before I call the shop tomorrow and profess my displeasure.
