Default DJ's Specs

I have been reading mulitple threads concerning the align specs. Can someone provide me with the exact specs? I have a 04 DC Tundra, will these specs work? I am having a horrible vibration at speeds over 70mph its so bad all the seats in the truck shake..but not the steering wheel. I had the tires balanced the other day, but not road forced. So I am thinking road forced and alignment might resolve this issue.

You could have a problem with alignment and/or with balance and/or roundness of the tires. If you fix the alignment problem first, a tire problem could mask the cure and you wouldn't believe you had an alignment problem. So, when chasing a vibration problem such as this, you should always start by checking balance and roundness of the tires first. Often a shop will measure the alignment at no charge.

Aligning a Tundra or Sequoia is easy. Start with the specs Toyota publishes for your vehicle, which the alignment machine will have in its database. Set camber and total toe dead on the settings Toyota recommends and set caster right at the upper end of the range Toyota's specs allow. Toyota can't complain since these settings are within their recommendataions, and it will provide the maximum steering stability those specs allow.
