Alignment issue after 3" lift

[Ricel]

Tried at cx, but need more info.

Finished my 3" lift, got the alignment done to the racerx and TJTJ specs and now its puling to the right. When the steering wheel is straight she rides fine, on letting go, wheels turns a little right and im drifting.

Here are the specs.

It doesn't matter what the Caster is, just as long as you get the most Caster you can on the right side, then set it so the left side is less by 0.3° to 0.6°
Camber = 0.0°L.....0.0°R
Caster = 0.9°L.....1.2°R
Toe in = 0.08"L...0.08"R
Total toe = ...0.16"

Here are mine

Questions.

What is the reason that the caster for the right wheel is more than the left?

Even if the camber is not 0 shouldn't it not cause the truck to pull if even?

Need to know what to yell at the shop about today.

Oh wow. I know nothing about this but am going to to have to stay tuned and learn a little bit. Good luck man. Your X looks great with that lift too!

Yes, the lift looks awesome. I also would like to know if anyone knows the answer to your issue. Someone here has to have some information on this. If all else fails, rip that lift off and send it to me, I will pound it into submission. lol

Bump for someone who has helped more people than I can count. Best of luck.

Thanks Abuse! Yeah I would like to know the breakdown and reason for the specs. It would be a great sticky to have here. Spec and reasons for going with this setup. I think a guy on Nexterra works at a tire sales place. Maybe I can get him to shine some light

I'm assuming it' s pulling hard right?

The caster is waaaay too low on the right! It's negative, so it's actually 2.1 degrees lower than the left side. Caster will always pull to the lower side.

So tell yoir guy to follow the specs listed above (Those were my original specs off XOC) and set your camber to zero. This will give him enough room to play with the caster.

Ahh thanks cycle! Wow should have caught that.

 

[Cyclemut]

Any time bro!

Sitting at the shop, guy is telling me my tred wear will always be very bad with this alignment... Meeting with the actual guy in a minute.

With which alignment? The one you currently have or the custom specs one? With the custom specs, I've seen 70k miles out of BFG A/T's.
