I was reading the toe, camber, caster thread and thought about setting my truck up for that. I have to take my truck back in since the alighment job is slipping a bit and I was thinking about getting it done while I was there. I have a RCSB, has anyone switched over? If so how's it working for you?

 

Are you talking entirely over or just alignment specs? If you're talking entirely over then, yes there are a few, but it will cost you easily $6 grand.

 

Just thinking about the alignment specs, figured since my truck was going to be on the lift to have a little fun with it. But if my alignment post wreck is getting a little loose again not sure if it would be a good idea. I got the sheet in the truck off hand i think it was 2 off, it was way off, ended up eating a corolla a few months back.

 

what is the difference in an SS' alignment specs and normal RCSB specs?

 

I tried it on my 03', wasn't too impressed by it. Maybe the idiots who did the alignment messed it up.

 

I'll post up the stock specs when I get home from work. Should be in the paperwork from firestone.

 

I used SS camber specs when I did the alignment on my truck after I lowered it. I would have used the caster specs also (which I think are the same anyway), but I have the adjusting cams maxed out and could only get 4* of positive caster, due to lowering the front via keys instead of spindles. From what I remember, I have camber set to -.6 and -.5, and toe is at 0. Negative camber is good for cornering and overall steering feel, and won't wear the tires unless you go too far ("too far" is different for each vehicle depending on the type of suspension and other alignment geometry factors).

It's been about 8k and I don't have any uneven tire wear at all. Handling has improved, but as I mentioned, I also lowered the truck and changed my wheels and tires, so my suspension has been affected dramatically. I would recommend a little negative camber to anyone who is doing an alignment to their vehicle, just for the cornering and control improvement alone

Oh yea, when I did the alignment, I still entered the info for my truck as being a 99 4x4 rcsb, but just used my own specs. Don't worry about "green" and "red" on the screen, just look at the numbers

Ok here are the numbers, sorry about any excess crap just gonna throw it all on. Front left:0.3, 2.8,0.04,11.0,11.3 Front right:0.3, 0.5, 0.00,10.5,10.9 right front was the worst since it took most of the wreck and is what probably sent the corolla to the crusher, before I got the alignment it was off -2.07. Rear left:-0.9, 0.24, Right rear: 0.0 -0.43. Loved it when they were checking the rear they asked if I took it off roading I said nope, they were worried since no one there had seen the rear in a 2wd as off as it was. Turns out my rear end has shifted foward left.

 

Also thanks for the feed back guys, these numbers will probably be more helpful.
