#24378, "Just put on my Pro-kits and got an alignment done...These are my specs, please help me out!"




          

My left front is at -1.8 camber, specified is -0.8
4.2 caster, specified is 3.2
0.10 toe, specified is 0.12

Right front is at -1.5 camber
5.4 caster
0.11 toe

My left rear is at -1.1 camber, specified is -2.5
0.22 toe, specified is 0.00

My right rear is at -0.8 camber
-0.46 toe

Are these good or bad read outs? I just did the rear camber mod, but I used some longer bolts and 8 flat washers. I had that done before with my previous drop for almost 2 years and no problem. Do you guys think I need front camber kits? or even rears? Thanks

you might check the toe on some of them tires. the camber should be ok. dont quote me. my fronts were off like a mother on camber too. as long as you rotate and try to keep your toe as close to stock as possible, you should be ok.

So should I go ahead and order some camber kits? If so which ones, just front? I was just going to keep it the way it is right now, and just watch my tires, but I am starting to think that I should just buy camber kits for the front

i would just watch you tires and rotate them every oil change. my camber is out about the same as yours and my tires are doin just fine. I do notice they are wearing a little more on the inside than the outside, but ive had them on there for 6 months and They should last a while. If you do get a camber kit your gonna need to Ingalls extreme camber kit that corrects from +1.25 degrees to +3 degrees.

Thanks guys, I just bought an extreme camber kit for the front cause I already know what it feels like to go through 55,000 mile tires every 2 months!! Not a good feeling at all!!! So I rather spend a few hundred for a kit and an alignment and have my tires last. Thanks for the help fellas!!

my specs are -1.7 on the right and -1.3 on the left. Ive put 17,000 miles on my tires in 5 months and they are still pretty good. Like i said before i can tell they are wearing more on the inside but i rotate them with every oil change and so far so good. I planned on pullin my camber out but i cant cause im too low and my wheels are too wide. so i have a tire run issue with only .75 degrees of correction.

if your alignment is out of spec, fix it, not only does it wear the tires but it also causes other parts to wear out quickly like your axels,etc.... get the ingals extreme for the front and the 15$ mod for the rear..

I bought it from Ebay. I already did the rear camber kit, that's how I got my rears close to spec. The alignment guy said the rears were fine, but he adjusted the toe on the front just until I got my camber kit on.
