    Today I finally decided to swap the wheels from the Dodge to the jeep.
    Since the bolt pattern was the same I now have 31/10.50's on my 58...
    It looks great.

    While I was at it, I tossed a tape measure across the front wheels to see what sort of "alignment" this rig has. I expected a toe in on the generous side, but is 3/4 inch a little much??

    I not know much about alignments, but the front measurement treat to tread was 3/4 closer than the rear measurement.

    What should it be? This jeep has the long tie rod with the draglink connected to the tie rod on passenger side. All the joints are reasonably tight. The only real slop is my bell crank.

    I know, rip it all out. Not in the budget. I wonder if it would possibly steer better if it was closer to 1/8 or maybe a 1/4......

    Thanks,
    -Hill

    FSM states Toe In 3/64 to 3/32... Think ya need to tuck them in a little (or push them out depending on how you look at it). I use just rims mounted on the front so I can get a little better measurement.
