It's an 07 jkur, 3.5 RE lift with factory control arms. Sitting on 37" tires. Alignment shop did not do anything... They didn't know what to do with lift on it. They just printed this. Seems to me like the toe is way off.

What do you guys think? Btw, no death wobble, drives out fine.

Toe-in is really easy to adjust on your own, and there is a write-up on Project-JK.

Camber can only be corrected with adjustable ball joints. If you haven't done so already, you may want to get c-gussets and axle sleeves, especially since you have 37s.

Caster is corrected with adjustable control arms, preferably LCAs up front. According to the numbers in the report, you would want the LCAs to be longer than stock to increase the caster. Although not necessary, it would help to eliminate the flightiness in the steering.

I do alignments just about every day, and agree with redjk2. You should probably do the gussets for the amount of tire you are running, but your current camber numbers are very common for these jeeps.(Dont think it's bent)

I already have gussets and sleeves.

Since you do alignments, do you think I should change toe in, and if so what should I change it to? What will be the benefits of changing it?

Sorry for all the questions, it's not that I don't want to change it, it's just that I want it to be the best it can be... And it drives great right now.

Thanks to everybody for there help and input!

I have a free alignment at the local shop (won it). What should I have them set the tour in at? Anything else they should change from the orig post I made?

Thanks!
