Alignment Specs For a Lifted 4Runner

[inscarguy]

does anyone have good proven alignment specs for a lifted street driven 4runner with a 2.5-1.5 kit, adjustable upper arms and 265/65r18 tires(this probably does not make a difference but i figured id put it out there anyway just in case). i have used the factory setting for years and its been ok but maybe it could be better. with the new upper arms i will probably get a better alignment now.

I run about 0.20° of camber, 4.0° of caster, and about 0.10° of toe in. Drives like a champ.

Depends, do you want inner tire wear in exchange for more lateral grip? More negative camber. My Evo X runs -2 deg of camber for street use. The BMW X5 runs around -1.5 front and -2.0 rear which is part of the reason why it handles better than most SUVs.

Also optimally cars have around 6deg of caster if you really want to turn yours up that much, but it depends on a lot of other suspension design factors.

Toe you generally don't play with unless you're building a track only car.

I'm guessing you most likely won't be able to reach these numbers with the stock alignment hardware, especially lifted.

Otherwise stick to stock.
