275 70 r17

[SouthAl]

Can anyone tell me if I'll have a hard time getting an alignment with a 3" lift and stock UCA? Planning on fitting 275 70 17 KO2. Thanks

Yes you will not achieve factory caster recommendations.

 

[SouthAl]

I thought that might be the case. Thanks

3" lift in the front is about what your typical Daystar 2.5/1.5 will net you.

It's considered about the limit of how high you can go and still align to within the edge of the spec.

Mine made it in spec, however I bought some UCA's anyway. Makes a big difference in ride.

Running 275/70's with 2.5" lift and caster is off and so is toe. They tried to get the numbers as close as they can but its still a bit off. Gotta get a set of UCA's soon to correct the issue

275/70/17s and same situation up front, everything was able to get aligned to spec except caster. I will also be getting UCAs.

No excuse for the toe to be off. That's just a matter of adjusting the tie rods, and there's plenty of adjustment range on those. Your front tires will wear rapidly if the toe is off, so get that fixed ASAP. If your alignment shop says they can't get the toe right, fire them and find another one.

Caster won't affect tire wear, just driveability. Camber can affect wear, but only if it's off a bunch.
