Please tell me there's a way to get rid of the toe in I can't stand that the rear tires have such a huge toe in and would love to make them straight, don't really care if it effects how it turns or what not, I just think it looks retarded :D
 
YEP!

Its easy! Take the control arm shaft out of the rear lower/arm.. After that, you will see an off-set bushing, flip it. Im talking about the rear bushing, the furthest back. This will brng your total toe closer to zero, straight ahead. I did this and the truck looks and handles better. Good luck.

Yep, toed in good. Mine was like that and it looked retarded. Correcting the toe made the truck track better and roll more freely. In my experience atleast. Here is a pic proving it can be changed. You will need the 050017 aluminum control arm holder for the rear arms. I believe the plastic braces are fixed and can not be adjusted.I should add to my statement, if the truck was 2-wheel drive I could see toeing in the rear, but its not, it has 4 tires pulling and pushing the truck at the same time and is un necessary for any benefit IMO. How many real 4x4s look like that? Camber actually helps traction more than any of the suspension angles.

Sweet, thanks man, I will get that part ordered asap and I totally agree with your statement, you don't see 4x4s with toe in and personally I think it looks super tacky.
 
Cool deal, I was pleased with it. It will be slightly toed in still, but atleast it wont look like it was dropped off the roof of your house, with only the wheels hitting the ground when it hit.
