1/8" toe in?

There's no "set" measurement. You measure and make the front end 1/8" toe in.

My cherokee was i think 61 5/8 (front of tires). We just did my buddy's 92 and it was 59 5/8. It all depends on your setup but it should always be 1/8" or 1/16" toe in.

I would keep it at 1/8" but other than that you are 100% correct The reason I say 1/8" in is to correct for the crown of the road with the bigger tires. ( less scrub )
