Adjusting toe in?

Ever since I added my leveling kit my right front tire has always worn down the outter tread really fast. I finally measured the tow the other day and found that the wheel is toe'd out like 1/2 in. How can this be adjusted with no tie rod at that end? Do I adjust the drivers side tire and then use the one at the pitman arm to pull in the pass side?

Adjust the drivers side first (I set mine to about 1/16" toe out), then you can adjust the drag link to recenter the steering wheel. Then check the toe again and make sure it stayed put. When you tighten/shorten the draglink to make up for your toe out, it will slightly move the toe, thats why you should check it several times after making your adjustments.


Thats assuming you have the original steering. If you upgrade to the T-link steering like the 08's, just set your toe and adjust the steering wheel. Thats it.
