Default Borgeson System & Wheel Alignment

So I have the Borgeson box/system installed and I need to get a 4 wheel alignment done. I'm assuming I should be using standard wheel alignment specs?? This will be for street driving not the track.

The steering box has no impact on your alignment settings. Your assumption is correct.

My instructions recommend increasing caster to 3-4 degrees positive. I believe it is to make it return to center. I put the kit on about a month ago but I have"nt had it on the ground yet. I"ve been waiting for semi-coilovers that I keep hearing will be in next week for the past few weeks. Are you guys going to the inner holes on the tie rods?

Definitely get a 4-wheel alignment. Obviously the front wheels are the only two that need the alignment but you might as well do the rear while it is on the rack.
