Castor & camber angles

I have had 22" wheels fitted to my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel and a 3" lift on the front end. The front tyres are now wearing on the outer edges. Can anybody tell me what the Toe-in, Toe-out, castor & camber angles should be so i can get it set up properly. Many thanks

With the oversize wheels and a lift kit you need to retain the same degrees of castor and camber as OEM, but now measured at the new vehicle height. Most off road shops that have a frame and alignment rack will have the information already set up for their machine. However, you will need to set your toe-in to be neutral, then pull it in just enough so it will not wander. This may take a few tries, but it is the only way that works and does not scrub off the front tires.
