    So why is it that the alignment shops can't get this done? What do I need to tell them for my 98 4runner 3 inch lift with 285/70/R17

      I think camber should be zero.

    I'm confused as to why you are even worried about toe until after caster/camber are set. I was under the impression that after your caster/camber are set, you adjust toe, which does not impact the previous two.

    I have 2011 tundra with 2.4 inch leveling kit 275/65/18 and passenger front is having outer edge wear when aligned to factory specs. I also had this issue when it was stock height. The only thing that helps is cross rotation every 5k miles on any 4x4. Can someone help me save my passenger front right tire outer edge from being worn? I need custom alignment specs not factory specs.

    Maxing out caster (positive) helps reduce or eliminate cab mount tire rub.

      Driverside positive caster of 3 degrees. Passenger side 3.2-3.4. Camber a lil negative less the half. Toe zero.

      You're going to have to cut the cam adjusters and bolts then replace lca or press out then in new bushings.. it sucks. All 4 of mine were seized.

    I have a 13 4runner, stock tires 2" lift, before the lift it followed slight ruts and cracks in the road, after the lift and alignment it did the same thing, the first alignment tech said it was my tire brand (cooper, aggressive tread, 10 ply), the second alignment tech told me it had low positive caster and couldn't be corrected because of the lift, it had the same problem before the lift also said the 4runner tended to have this problem, what say you??? thanks

      I lifted my 2011 Tacoma 3" and it does the same as yours,all over the road follows every crack, crown, and wonders back and forth in hwy.. I just ordered some adjustable upper control arms and I hope it helps when I go and get it aligned again...wish me luck🤞

      I had a similar issue on my 1st gen. Take a look at the play in the steering column slip shaft and also the steering rack guide.
