So I got my front end done, and while talking to another member with almost the exact same set up as me I can't figure out why our Caster is so different. My Caster is +5.8 x 6.2 and theirs is +4.5 x 4.6. I am curious, what is your Caster and setup? Thanks.

One thing I have notice is, some guys/shops just turn and crank the adjustments and think they know what they are doing.
Then there are a very few that can turn and crank them adjustments and ACUALLY KNOW what there doing, to get the right numbers and even.

Not sure if those spindles where designed to hit/be on the high side numbers or not, but, my guess is to go somewhere else and at least find a decent number that runs good with the ride and make them the same on both sides.
 
Mine is close to that and i have 1 degree of camber with eBay arms. When i had my light racing arms(standard set up) i was at high 4's and camber was at zero. So, i think the arms have more to do with it. I'm gonna play with the arms more and see if i can take care of it. The tech has a lot to do with it because its a trial and error kind of thing to see whats better.

A lot of fj and tacos on 35's have to be at that number. we are just spoiled with lift spindles.
 
The guy that does my alignment knows what he is doing, JC's Alignment in HB. I sourced him out when I first lifted and knew exactly what to do to get my alignment as within spec as possible with stock arms. Here are my alignments:

I thought maybe because the rear is about an 1.5" lower now that was the reason, but [MENTION=117408]Oneluv13T4R[/MENTION] truck is almost identical in setup to mine and the caster numbers are different.

I have notice a lot of shops try to hit that caster number perfect and the camber N toe numbers usually are all over the place.

I found a guy that his priority is hit the camber and toe with perfect even numbers for tire contact to the ground and wear, and deal with what the caster comes out with.

Then with me using camburg arms on a 3" lift, caster is hard to hit good numbers.
