3 degrees camber front
2 degrees camber rear
1.5-2 degrees toe out front
2.5-3 degrees toe IN rear

That diff fluid you posted sounds good. 5-10-3. Adjust ride height to arms level front, bones level rear. If we had a manual online, or a setup sheet, i could go thru more of the fine tuning options. Im sure that truck has roll center, anti squat, etc... If you have a front sway bar on, remove it. Also, and VERY important for the performance of any 3 diff vehicle. If you want that tight pivot action in turns, you MUST set brake bias. You want the front brake to be about 10% of the stopping power. Adjust the brakes at car, not the radio. With full brakes applied the rears should lock, and the fronts should roll slightly when dragged across the floor or table. Once you have that, go into your radio. Set the EXP for brakes at NEGATIVE 40-70%. That will give you a nice action on brakes, and allow you to still fully lock em when you use 100% of the trigger for brakes. That should be a really good base setup. And still allowing for improvement in the other areas of that truck that i just dont know without getting my hands on it, or seeing a manual, or setup sheet.

Doda, fyi something I did not tell you about the Jammin, I have 50wt oil in the shocks, and the center diff is 10k, both the front and rear are 5k, and you dont have to mess with the rear toe its set at 2.5 degrees with that plate, which is perfect toe for the rear for that truck, most guys run 2.5 in the rear

I like Eric trying to give tuning advice and hasn't even really run the truck!

**Edit**

I was searching for the Jammin set up sheet and believe it or not found this set up...Chris this works very well, actually everyone should view it. Best Baseline Jammin Set Up

LMAO.....and I thaught "I" was a pecker hehe

Hey, who knows. Maybe i'll hate the jammin. To be honest, I like it. But it is kinda hard on the eyes. Not a very good looking truck...Maybe a body color change will help.

Thanks for the tips thermal. I appreciate it.

If you want it to shift sooner than loosen the screw. If you wish for the engine to rev out more before it shifts to second, tighten the screw. Lefty loosy righty tighty. Werd...
