Max caster with stock control arms and lift?

[Supermoney]

Hey guys.

We just got new 33s on (different wheels as well) along with our bilstein / tundra lift on 2nd perch.

Go to get our alignment, every turns out fine for toe / camber but I told the guys we wanted the maximum caster that is still within spec.

Anyways, we get it back and they say "there is no way to adjust the caster".

I've seen some people get up to 2.0 out of stock control arms (with a lift), so how come this place couldn't get any more? Is it just the in-experienced techs?

I have a really good guy although a bit more expensive (not worried about it because this alignment was free with the tire purchase) that I may try to go to if you guys say more caster is possible.

Here is my alignment:

looks like mine. with 3" lift this was all that could be coaxed out of my stock arms. And thats with [MENTION=94888]EatonKyleH[/MENTION] doing my alignment and he knows whats up

I think the minimum spec is 1.8 degrees which your not that far from. People getting 2 degrees may have a little less lift or the alignment machine readout or process may slightly vary. My lift and readings are almost the same as yours. You can definitely tell the difference in drivability between 1 degree and 3+ degrees. No steering wander. Steering returns to center a lot easier. I can't wait to change my UCAs.
At least your the alignment tech had a clue. The place I went to was trying to set everything to zero. Setting toe before setting caster/camber. Just absolutely clueless.

Yeah I can definitely feel it on the highway. Especially because in my area the roads aren't great, I really need to steer it a lot which gets annoying.

Might consider getting the control arms, but damn they are pretty expensive.
