Here are the general rules that I've accumulated reading a few different things.

- Bumpsteer under 1" of droop isn't going to matter much. The droop side is the unloaded side. At 3" of droop, that wheel probably isn't on the ground anyways.

- .020" of toe is basically negligible. When you go to the alignment shop with your custom specs, what are they in? 1/16's. That's .063".

- That said, the 12.25/8.50 setup looks nice, as you have basically negligible toe change over 3" of total travel. And when you're up in the massive compression area, an extra nearly 1/16 of toe-in will be nice for those hardest turns.
