Do I need camber correction UCA´s?

[-uhuru-]

Hi guys

Fitted some 305/55 r20 Falken Wildpeak AT3W´s some days ago. Lift is OME 2" front.

The truck needs new UCA to get caster back into spec. Question is will I need to correct camber too?

Leaning towards the Nitro Gear UCA´s with 3º of additional caster or the SPC UCA´s with Camber +/-2.0° Caster -1.0° to +3.0°.

I prefer the Nitro´s and would only get the SPC´s if absolutely necessary. The SPC´s look like they will not be fun to get dieled in properly.

Not sure those printouts are showing caster measurements?

At a 2" lift, you're on the threshold whether you'll need UCAs or not.

Somethings to note:
- Platform doesn't need a lot of caster. Low end of spec IIRC, ~right under 3, drives pretty well with good straight ahead stability
- As I've run this tire before, using the stock UCA can be beneficial to clearance against the body mount, by moving the LCA forward to increase caster. With UCAs, as they pull back on the wheel centerline to increase caster, may very well create a tighter gap to the BMC, and need a chop.

Thanks for the info!

The first line of the print out shows the caster @ -0.2º per side.

Will keep an eye on the body mount . I'll chop it if necessary. Road manners are a priority, specially in my country with mediocre roads.

Ah, couldn't tell if that's a reading as it's so low.

Do you know how much actual lift you got from the 2" OME setup? Sounds like more than 2" and you'll need UCAs.

I have no idea since I bought already lifted. But reason would tell me more than 2" since I noticed recently that the previous owner used OME 2703 front coils which are rated for bullbar + winch. ( other thread on coils )

I'm going to change those coils for softer ones so I might wait and see alignment after the coil swap.

Good stuff man, thanks!
