FYI Factory Alignment at 3k Miles

[GSPHerder]

Just wanted to post a heads up for those swapping in expensive new tires. At just 3,000 miles my alignment was pretty out of whack, glad I elected to do an alignment when I put new BFG's.

You running KO3s? If so what size? I have a TRD pro and looking to lift and put 35s on it for overlanding clearance.

I have a set of KM3's and just put on a set of KO3's. The KO3's are 285/75 R18's. (34.8" x 9"). Definitely more narrow than the KM3's and lighter. I'm liking the KO3's for regular fall/winter coming up. I didn't lift any, but could always use a bit more ground clearance.

Thanks for the reply. I’m trying to find someone that lifted their TRD pro to see how it effected the fox qs3s. I don’t know if I’ll have to change suspension or not.

Those post alignment numbers look great to me. I don't care for the positive camber that Toyota allows for factory spec. My alignment guy was able to get mine close to "0" even with front and rear All Dogs springs (1.5" lift). My Truck drive great with these numbers.

Rybern those look great.

Initially I wanted the "Toe" zeroed out. Talking to the alignment guy who races and sets up lots of vehicles, he explained that once you get up to speed the "Toe" is going to splay out. With the settings he set he said that once at speed it will be "zeroed out". (not racing speeds but speeds in general) He has a 3 week waiting list for an alignment and is well trusted in this area so I went with it.

I wonder how its going to actually play out?
