I haven't taken any pictures yet. But I inspected the spindles and there was no shims behind. But after thinking about the problem awhile I remember after installing the 4" lift springs the toe in was off and I adjusted them out. I think the springs moved the caster too much. Right now my camber is 1.5* \-/ positive on both wheels. Has anyone had to install angle shims on the springs after installing 4" Tuff Country EZ ride? Or does anyone have the correct caster angle measurement for the axle? I am wondering if these angles are changed intentionally by the spring manufacturer to compensate for pinion angle? I'm obviously no expert and will have a pro align it later on but I just want to correct as much as I can now.
