Weird I forget who that was then. Oh well.
By the way those alignment bars you linked to look awesome.

One downside to using this on my Toyota crawler is the front axle is equipped with a spool and drive slugs.. so I can’t spin the hubs to line everything up
The lug studs side to side aren’t lined up, so the tools don’t line up level side to side. I have one side slightly up and one side slightly down, but it clears the leafs and the driveshaft so I can measure ok.
I would have to pull the hub to fix this, but close enough will work on a dedicated trail rig.

I have the same lift coils (Carli 2.5") as you and I have a slight pull to the right. Both driver and passenger side caster bolt arrows are on the rear-most mark facing the rear of the truck.
I think I will adjust my passenger caster bolt frontward a half click similar to what you have above.
Coincidentally, the passenger side of the struck sits about 1/3" higher than the driver side so it makes sense I need to "turn down" the passenger side a hair.
Great thread, boys! I also do all my own home alignments... good stuff in here.

Looks like I'm all in for this when I get new Tires.

I haven’t touched mine since I set it after the 1” front level and tire wear and handling has been great.

When I went for my alignment on my Dually they had it leaning 1". Really looking forward to doing this myself. My Cam marks are set equal at one mark back now. Should only need minor adjustment from here. When I talked with Don at Thuren he said mirror them. Good information on this Thread. I have the 2" coils.
