yes i have rotated tires and even tried a different set of tires, still pulled right... I did not get a print out after the last alignment (I had someone do it after I installed and adjusted the control arms) they just told me the toe was off a little but I know the caster is like 3.5 or so.. I dont think it ever got back to the spec of 4.2 and 4.4

Since you want it square and want it to drive right you need to do both.
think joe002 is right.. and I think all of you guys are too.. I think I need an adj. track bar, LCA's the same length, and double check the toe..

I suppose I may have mis stated my intentions of this thread in the original post....

again thanks for all the help and sorry for the confusion... still learning!!!!!

With correction brackets and adjustable arms there's no reason you can't get caster better than that.

Good luck. Lets us know how it works out. The only other I thing can think of is to make sure to use the same holes on both drop brackets.
