I just set the toe-in on my rigs. I use a tape and measure side wall to side wall both front and back. I set the front with a toe in of 1/8" to 1/4". It's always worked for me

thanks, I was thinking along the lines of what nut to turn where and what to adjust , thanks

ummm, ok, here goes. The tie rod connects the drivers side steering knuckle to the passengers side knuckle. There is a large nut on each side where the tie rod end threads in. Loosen both nuts then turn the tie rod until you get the desired amount of toe in. You might have to use a pipe wrench to twist the rod. Make sure you tighten the nuts when you're done.

If you have a steering stabilizer that's attached to the tie rod, remove it before making any adjustments.

Good luck!

my .02... spend $40 and have it done professionally before you ruin a couple of expensive tires.

or spend ~$80 at a Firestone shop and get lifetime alignment so you can get it redone after every offroad trip
