Right from Hotchkis:
NOTE
Here are the STOCK specifications for the Dakota 2WD and Durango 2WD:
Degrees Min Nominal Max
Camber -0.12 0.38 0.88
Caster 3.20 3.90 4.60
Toe 0.03 0.03 0.13
Degrees Min Nominal Max
Cross Camber -0.50 0.00 0.50
Cross Caster -0.50 0.00 0.50
Total Toe 0.05 0.15 0.25
PEFORMANCE Alignment Settings:
This set of alignment specs is intended to be a performance setup. If you
are using a tire that sticks out past the stock fender
(excluding the fender flares, see picture below), we highly recommend
using the performance settings. See picture below for tire fitment
example. It changes the nominal camber settings. This helps minimize
the chance that the tire will rub on the inside of the fender lip.
Degrees Min Nominal Max
Camber -0.25 -0.50 -0.75
Caster 3.20 3.90 4.60
Toe 0.03 0.08 0.13
Degrees Min Nominal Max
Cross Camber -0.50 0.00 0.50
Cross Caster -0.50 0.00 0.50
Total Toe 0.05 0.15 0.25
This setting is a good street performance type setting. It yields a good
compromise between ultimate handling and excessive tire wear.
