I recently put on the Fox 2.0s, Faction Fab 1.5" spacers, and some 275/65r18 Duratracs. Loving how it looks but at highway speeds it feels like it wants to drift one way or the other, it's not severe and I honestly can't tell if it's just the different feel of everything. Anyways, here's the alignment before and after. Reading that I shouldn't be concerned with the castor being positive, thoughts about anything else? Anything that can be done for the rear?

Numbers look pretty good on the after. The extra positive caster should help the steering return to center better. The toe is within spec, but just a smidge more toe in would likely help with the drifting.

If the tires are new, double check your air pressure and give them a few hundred miles to wear the mold release coating off before revisiting an alignment change.

Will do, thanks a ton for looking. Going to have to get some chalk and do the test for the air pressure here soon I think, the tires got put on with 34 all around but I'm not sure that's ideal. B pillar shows 30 for the 265/60r18s.

Rear tires are on a solid axle... should not have any toe. I question the calibration of the machine, or if the property zeroed it.

Hi Jake,

I agree that numbers look pretty good and agree with Jason that the toe could use a bump for a bit more toe... Some of what you feel is likely increased scrub radius from spacers and why I have never liked wheel spacers...

Best,
Phil
