Four wheel parts have them, 80.00 for two kits

So the kit is not -required- on mid perch, but is it a good idea to do anyway?

Some things that aren't required are still good to do...

The kit isn't required for any perch setting. The same amount of camber/caster adjustment is there, kit no kit. But if you have any concern for the lower control arm bushings or want to try to keep the alignment in or don't mind spending a 100 bucks on a 50,000 dollar truck to do it right then get the kit. Its really that simple.

We went off-roading yesterday and this happened to my wheel. This is my new centered position. I called Brandon from TMX as I trust him with advice. He said its a very common problem and can be fixed with a alignment and a camber caster kit. I'm on mid perch for about 5 months now. The off-roading we did yesterday wasn't to bad but apparently bad enough to knock the alignment out this far. I'll be adding that kit this week with alignment.

Yep did that about 4 times in less then a month before I put my kit in. Its much better after the kit.

Such a simple cheap addition, I wish I knew about this when I did the perch adjustment.

Hahahaaa, Brandon's truck looked like that after TRR. Yup, so he should know.

For guys having shops install them, make sure they install two kits, one for the front of the lower a-arm, and one for the rear. My first $99. Kit (with install) only included the front.

The rear a- arm bolt (everything is on the front)

Rear of control arms. Two chassis mounting points per control arm, one front one back. For the most part manufactures sell a camber caster adjustment that contains two kits in one box, so you need four kits or two boxes to do all four mounting points. It gets confused because most figure two kits cover each arm but its not the case. In the alignment world things are sold by side.
