Anyone running the Taco Tabs here? They seem to be a great idea to keep caster/camber alignment in spec but I'm somewhat leery of running them with my non-adjustable JBA UCAs. Their "recommended" spec is the rear cam outboard and the front cam centered, which theoretically should max out caster and zero out camber but there doesn't seem to be much data on this and the only alignment sheet I've found saw the guy get +5.7 caster but with his camber still sitting round -1.5. SPC (or other) adjustable control arms) should be be to fix the camber here, but that won't be an option for me.
Plus, looking at my current alignment (which may have back knocked out of place from my last wheeling trip), the driver's side rear cam is outboard and the passenger side rear cam is onboard - seems strange. The front cam bolts appear straight but I'd have to take off the skid to get a better look. Here were my specs before all of that:
The other options are the Marlin LCA frame bracing/gusseting or TC's gusset tabs - for reference my tabs seem to be in tact so I'm leaning towards the Marlin kit.
