    Got my truck lifted with the Westcott Designs 3-1 preload collar before we had official alignment specs available for the ‘22. I’ve attached the alignment sheet I received. Should I get it re-aligned? Not too sure how to read this. B6112EFD-8699-446A-8C5E-6A62753F62F7.jpg

    Any suspension changes generally dictate a new alignment.

    Yes get an alignment. You’ve changed suspension geometry.

    you’re a few degrees out of wack. Align it and you’ll be good

    I should’ve clarified. It was aligned after the lift, but it was done by hand since factory specs weren’t out yet. Was just wondering how these numbers looked after the alignment compared to others who have aligned it after

    I didn't get a lift, but the dealership just aligned mine (attached results). At the top it says "2021 Doublecab", but I have a 2022 Crewmax..... you mentioned specs weren't out yet, now I wonder if they even did mine right?

    They weren’t out at the time of my lift (back in March), but they’re out now. I’m essentially just trying to figure out if their alignment without official specs at the time was good enough

    Alignment specs for 2022 was released end of March from Toyota.
    Here in this thread.
    OFFICIAL - MY22 Tundra - Wheel Alignment Specifications - T-TT-0693-22

    Your alignment looks pretty good. Don't think you can get caster perfect with the 3" front lift and factory UCA. To get factory spec, going to have to get aftermarket UCA.

    Another thread where someone also had Westcott lift, and you're pretty close to his spec. Alignment after lifting

    A lot of places machine won't have the alignment specs for 2022, alignment machine hasn't updated yet for 2022 Tundra, so they can't select it in machine. So they just select highest year model when machine ask for what car, and manually enter in the correct specs from the Tech Tip above. The selected car don't matter, it's the numbers that matters.

    I'm going to be installing Westcott lift on mine in few weeks after I come back from my trip. Shop that is going to be doing my alignment said they don't have the specs for 2022 yet but I told them I have specs from Toyota, so they said to bring it with when I come in and they'll enter spec manually.
