Hi,
I agree with Todd on the camber but the front should be toe out 1/16 to an 1/8 so it wants to turn. In the rear you want 0 toe to 1/16 toe in or it's not going to want to roll with ease.

Hi Moe,
I would go with 4.44 or 4.45s the 4.27 you are looking for are realy rare and it's less than a 5% change from your 4.11s the 4.45 are about 8.4% change you will see a differance.
