Default HELP! Just got a 2.5 Flex RK Kit... Going for alignment. Anything I need to know?

I just got my 2.5 RK Kit on my 2012 JKU Rubicon yesterday and was wondering is there anything I need to ask them to do? Any camber specs or anything like that? Rookie to the game and wanted some help. Any recommendation would help. Its a daily driven car and I will have 35's on it in the next month or so...

Thank You forum sponsor Smashboogie 4x4 for the awesome kit!

Hopefully you can find a reputable 4x4 shop that can assist. Many places don't know how to deal with a lifted solid axle vehicle.

I have some wondering on mine and was told to set the toe in a eight of a inch that would fix it. I haven't done it yet but hopefully someone will chime in if I am wrong

Do you have control arms ?

find a shop that will work with you. I went to a shop and told them I wanted 3* caster and 1/8 toe. the guy argued with me and I walked out. Some shops don't know how to align lifted rigs.

Unless you have adjustable control arms Toe is the only spec that can be changed. Like said 1/16-1/8 in is good w/ bigger tires.

With adjustable lowers 5* caster.
You can go higher but more angle is put on the driveshaft. Stock is low 4's
