Quick toe in question
I just installed OME HD springs + 3/4" spacer up front, JKS adjustable track bar and 35" tires. I have a stubby winch bumper up front and a steel bumper with tire carrier on the rear. So, I'm netting about 3 1/2" lift up front and 3" of lift in the rear.
I installed the lift and track bar then set the steering wheel. When driving down the road, it's still a bit squirlly. I've never had an allignment...aka had my toe in set. So, I took it to my mechanic to have him do it right. He asked if the lift kit had new allignment specs, which it did not. He walked outsid and looked under the Jeep. When he saw no adjustable control arms he said that toe in was all he could do. (I knew this, but wanted to test his honesty) He was still curious as to what the recommended toe in should be. I thought I read somewhere that setting toe in at 1/8" after a 3" lift would help. That's what I told my shop.
Can someone confirm or correct me here???
Thank you!

Thanks for the quick reply.
He has not done anything yet. I just dropped it off and told him what to do. He has not measured anything.
If all I can do today is set the toe in a little, what setting should I tell him? Or should I not do anything at all?
Adustable lower fronts are on the short list. I just need to sell some stuff first.
