Setting the toe-in
Hi,
What do you guys set your toe-in at on a stock 1970 4x4 with stock springs and LT235/85R16 tires? Any suggestions? Thanks!! Frank

Re: Setting the toe-in
if your doing it with a tape measure, i usually do about a 1/4" difference... say if your tires are
/---\ youd want the front at say 63 1/2", and the back at 63 3/4", measuring from roughly the same spot on the tread in front and behind the tire

Re: Setting the toe-in
Thank You!
Do you measure from inside rim to inside rim at the 3 & 9 oclock positions? Frank

Re: Setting the toe-in
It is easiest to find a spot on your tread that you can duplicate at 3 and 9 0'clock.
