Alignment?

[outlaw612]

How do you do an alignment on a solid axle truck? I think I had heard something about shims, but dont remember where or how.

i know to set toe you just adjust the tie rod to make the measurement on the front and back of the tires...if you know what i mean

Caster you shim the axle at the springs. Camber you shim the spindle at the knuckle.They make round shims that are thicker on one side.

Unless you think you have some kind of problem, just set the toe and go.

Do a search. I posted exactly how to do this a little while ago.

There are also offset upper balljoint sleeves up to 1.5 degrees which is more than you should ever need.
