Alignment question after lift (with readout)

[joshoowa]

Over the weekend I installed a new lift (Icons and SPC UCAs) and took the vehicle to Firestone for an alignment, the service rep mentioned that I should come back another day when his lead tech is in because hes better suited to work on my vehicle. Anyways heres my current alignment read out, the car is trekking to the right when I let go of steering wheel. I can physically feel the steering wheel want to pull to the right also. I'm not an alignment expert but I thought the numbers look to be okay. So when I go back for the realignment with the lead tech what should I mention?

BTW I set the SPC UCA at +2 degrees caster which was preset by SPC. Is there ways to adjust the caster from other components on the suspension?

if your right caster is maxed, perhaps reducing the left down to 2.7. just got mine aligned over the weekend with 2.8 both sides. Rides straight at +80.

I'm going to adjust the front lift a little more and bring the car back to alignment shop sometime this week. I will mention about trying to max out the caster and also make the caster equal on both sides.

You could have radial pull. Are the tires new?

To me it looks like they didn't even change the alignment at all.

Tires are not new but pre-lift I have no alignment issues so I dont think it's the tires. Yeah it looks like they didn't even touch my alignment, I think when they mentioned their lead tech not there they probably just loosen a few bolts and tighten them back up.

The car will pull towards the low caster side. You have the opposite of what it should be for road crown. Ideal, would be to have the drivers side a little lower.

When you take it back ask to max caster and set the caster or a little higher on the passenger side if possible. Ideal would be over ~3.5 on both sides.

With the SPC adjustable UCAs you should be able to get more caster and then fine tune the camber with the UCA ball joint. They are a bit flimsy, but that is the main advantage of them. Alignment can be right on if the tech understand how to adjust them. Finding a good alignment tech who si willing to spend the time is often a difficult task.
