Should tires be toed out?

[whoDEANie]

I've got 295 Duritracs on my truck. I just had an alignment done and noticed that the tires are still visibly toed out. The truck drives straight now, but should a street vehicle be aligned such that the tires are deliberately toed out a bit?

Only if your like buying tires very regularly.

Noooooooooooo! Should actually be toed in!

Most vehicles are zero or very slight toe in.... Take it back and i'm sure they'll correct it

Geeze, I have a funny feeling I'm going to have a bit of a battle on my hands. I think they're charging me through the nose for alignment/balancing issues they created when installing my lift kit.

Thanks for the advice guys. I sent them a polite inquiry and we'll see what they come back with.

Who did it? I don't know many shops that both install the lifts and do the alignment. There are a few though

No deans was dealership lifted I think.

Dean 0 toe to 1/8 toe in.

Depending on how its sitting with camber ( one tire in a rut ect ) will change toe and make it look wrong.

Make sure its flat at all 4









U sure Ur eyes are toed in

I have always just taken a measuring tape and toed mine in 1/8 inch.. with new tires installed. Seems to work, it is not fancy though.

Tex is correct on all accounts.

1. It was lifted at the dealership before I even picked it up.
2. My eyes are definately toed in.
3. My camel does have a little toe.

...but I'm still pretty sure my tires are pointed in two different directions.

You will need to rotate your tires every other drive to work the way they are right now. Especially if they are "visibly" toed out.

These should be the factory alignment specs....... Lift kits require different #'s, but this is a good guide to start with
