ADJUSTING THE TOE ANGLE
The toe angle is the angle of both front tires (or rear tires) to each other, when viewed from above. Toe-in is when the front of both tires
point toward each other and toe-out is when the front of both tires point away from each other.
●
For the front tires, toe-in will make your truck track straighter, but the steering will be more sensitive. Toe-out will desensitize the
steering, making the truck a little more driver-friendly.
●
For the rear tires, if you're running on a smooth surface, we suggest no toe-in. If you are running on a rough surface, we suggest about
1 - 2 degrees of toe-in. This will give the rear end a little more "bite."
RECOMMENDED INITIAL SETTINGS:
●
0 degrees toe-in on the front and rear for overall best 4WD driveability on most surfaces.
☞
Adding more than 3 degrees of toe-in or toe-out will result in excessive loss of speed
and erratic handling.

For more precise toe-in adjustments, use the R.P.M. Toe-in Gauge
part # 708049.
●
To change the rear toe angle block, first remove the two screws from the bottom of the
chassis that hold the toe angle block screw guard in place, the remove the screw guard
from the chassis.
●
Next, remove the two screws that hold the toe angle block in place, then carefully pull
out the toe angle block, being careful not to pull out the hinge pins.
●
Install the desired toe angle block. Installation is the reverse of the disassembly
procedure.
To adjust the toe-angle of the front tires, turn the tie-rods (steel rods connecting each wheel to the steering arm) in or out with an
adjustable wrench. To adjust the toe angle of the rear tires, you need to replace the toe angle block, described below:
To adjust the toe-in on the rear tires, use one of the different composite toe angle blocks provided in your kit to set the desired toe angle.
For convenience, the degree of toe angle in each block is molded into the back of the blocks.
The stock toe-angle block is 2º.
Camber is referred to as the amount of the tire's surface that contacts the ground. Tires that are exactly perpendicular to ground have
0 degrees of camber. If the top of the tire leans in toward the chassis, the tire has negative camber. If the top of the tire leans out away
from the chassis, the tire has positive camber.
RECOMMENDED INITIAL CAMBER SETTINGS:
●
For driving on smooth surfaces set both the front and back wheels at 0 degrees.
●
For driving on rough surfaces set the front wheels at -1 degree and the back wheels at -2 degrees.
ADJUSTING THE CAMBER ANGLE
Adjust the camber angle of the wheels by turning the upper turnbuckles in or out using an adjustable wrench.
☞
Camber settings should be measured
with the vehicle at its normal ride height.
