Hello!

Does anybody know what is a good Camber / caster degree for a 1-2" lift?
 






Same as stock, really. Zero camber and slight toe-in to keep it going straight.

Personally I prefer running a bit of negative camber to counter outer edge wear, and about 0.5 to 1.0 degrees of toe-in. Seems to make for sporty street manners and works good for all types of off-road diving too.

Generally I find it's best to adjust the camber to what you want, then dial in the toe setting over a period of days, checking the front/rear of the tires for distance to determine the toe and adjusting as needed. This is a LOT more accurate than setting the toe on an alignment rack and thinking it will stay there, especially on a new or just-worked-on suspension.
 






Thank you!
