He used caster cams, that's sufficient for a 2.5" lift.

 

 

My truck came with a 3.5 inch rake so his truck probably still has a 1 inch rake after a 2.5 inch level.

 

Said he didn't need to shims to get into factory spec, right?

 

Correct, alignment was within factory caster specs for a 2018 f350, they said shims were not needed. Truck drives like it should, will have it checked again when I go in for a re-torque.

 

Mine has been great with the ReadyLift 2.5" level kit and stock shims, but I didn't have the opportunity to drive it prior to the lift and I have dual-stabilizers so could be masking any issues. I also had to go back and add the relocation bracket and bump stop ext. so not surprised if they took other shortcuts.

 

I think the adjustable track bar helps considerably as it centers the axle and keeps the steering parallel like it oem geometry. The alignment shop said some trucks need caster shims and some don't when going with leveling kits or under 3" lifts. Lifts 3" or more should definitely should have Radius Arms or RA brackets for correct caster from what i'm hearing.

 

I believe it, I've helped 3 or 4 buddies now that haven't needed caster cams, and they love the way their truck drives. Its crazy how much variation there is in these things from the OEM.

 

judging by your caster comments in this and other threads, you seem extremely confused about how it all works. google is your friend

 

Interested in that RC adjustable track bar! Seems solid for 200$, yea its Rough Country, but still :shrug:

LOL.
