What specs are you guys running ? and what would be optimum specs for a lifted 4" 4.0 std bed reg cab with 33x12.50-15's .it has big bumper and winch too,it had ruf cntry 4" spgs but they sagged under new bumper,winch so we put in 6in sky jacker coils.kyb shocks and muffler clamps on springs to keep them in from now on. well it ride GREAT but have alignment issues. i think the 594 bushings are just the ticket for .7 camber and 2.0 caster. which is spot on for stock but how should we align it being lifted and all?

get the adjustable ones, or find a good alignment guy that will figure all of that for you. Mine does a good job and I dont have to worry about getting the shims, he does it

Align it to factory specs, nothing needs to be changed because it is lifted… you're over thinking it.

The alignment specs are different for every truck, and vary significantly. One size doesn't fit all. What works for one will not work for another.

The biggest thing before anything else if you're lifted is to make sure your steering linkage is in proper alignment with the axle (not pulled up at an angle because your pitman arm is too short for the lift).

After that, then as said, factory alignment specs are fine.

I think I'm around +.5° camber, 1/16" toe in, and between 3-4° caster both sides (not sure the exact #s, I simply adjusted it until it tracks straight with good returnability and then buttoned it up.
