Well my buddy took his truck in to the alignment and they did a **** "toe and go". They dialed his castor a tiny bit, and didn't bother with any camber adjustment so his tires were still pretty much \ / Dropped the 6112s 2 notches and it got him down to about 38.5" on stock 20" tires. This brought camber closer to visually correct and will suffice for a little. He's due for new tires soon so when he gets them he's gonna schedule with the offroad shop by us and have them get his truck aligned properly. He's already looking at UCAs and rear shocks etc but I throttled him back a bit and told him to drive it instead of really dropping money for no reason.
@ram1500rsm what were the lengths on the king shocks you went with in the rear? I had my truck out the past few days and was hammering some old farm roads that are akin to smoother desert washes. Think rollers, g outs and alot of small washboard chatter. Front end handles perfect, rear shocks get hot enough you can't grab them with your hand and hold them, I could feel the damping worsen after about 10 mins. I'm thinking about the icon 2.5s they spec out at 16.5x26.8 so I lose a touch of down travel at the expense of better valving
