Caster problems with RC lift

[brew8]

Do those of you with the rough country lift have problems with caster causing your truck to wander on the hiway, Thanks, Larry

My cousin had the 3 inch and now has the 6 inc rc lift, it rides like factory, no wander at all.

There is a thread from a few days ago with the same problem, no resolution was mentioned yet. Did you have an alignment done? If so, what were the toe-in/camber/caster numbers?

No I was going to buy the lift but was unsure of the outcome of that thread and wanted to get the opinion of others, thanks, Larry

New upper control arms (UCAs) will fix this issue, more importantly a UCA with a ball joint will allow a little more flex and let the truck be aligned correctly. I run the Total Chaos UCA but, Camburg and Donahoe (Icon VD now) make similar set ups.

Yes, this is very common when a 2+" lift is done.
Mine wandered around a lot too after the OME lift was put on, but the Total Chaos UCAs fixed it.

Thanks for all the advice the upper control arm makes a lot a sense, thanks, Larry
