Can't Align Due to Lift

You're at about 4.5 inches of lift with that combo.

 

I would assume those coil overs are probably the original from new. Probably time to replace anyways. Remove spacer lift, replace coil overs with 1.5-2.5” lift, and replace coachbuiler shackles with stock. And don’t get your alignment done at the dealership.

 

He was asking for pics of the cams showing the markings on the face to see if they’re maxed out.

 

Ah, missed that - just fixed the photos.

 

Lol! Found a pair of used OEM shackles for $150. Would driving around on the coachbuilders cause any issues with the leaf springs or should they be good? Not sure if I can afford the coil overs at the moment. Will I be fine with removing the lift and then replacing the coil overs at a later date (6 months)?

 

Uh say what? Used OEM for $150? I'll send you mine for free just pay to ship.

 

Only reason I said to remove the CB is to lower the rear while you’re lowering the front so you won’t have too much rake. I’m just assuming they’re fairly big because you have 4” up front. But the CB shackles are much better than stock and definitely won’t hurt to keep them on. Actually you should figure out which CB shackles you have. If they’re minimal lift I would just keep them if the rake isn’t bad. And you can find oem shackles for less than that. People have takeoffs laying around.

 

Not sure how much of a lift the coachbuilder shackles are adding but I would assume 3.5 at least (they are 9" in length). From hub to wheel well is ~25.5 and I think stock is 22". I actually like the look of the truck with the lift but feel it's the reason for the bad tire wear.

 

That front spacer stack is a shit show. Definitely get those 1/4 inch plates out of there. Or better yet maybe pull the big on and just leave the two small ones for a 1 inch lift

 

Awesome - thank you! Below is my email (I can get you my info and payment for shipping)

Thank again - really appreciate it!

 

He's got 3 sizes: +1, +2, +3. The +1 gives you .625" of lift, the +2 gives you 1.25", and the +3 gives you 1.75" of lift.

 

PM'd you

 

That sounds like a plus 3. Which makes sense you have 1.75 lift rear and 3.5 at least in the front sitting level. Your gonna be amazed how much better it rides when you fix the front with less lift.


Now that youve measured the lift, it makes sense why they can’t align it. That is way too much for the stock uca to handle. Even if they fixed the camber, its gonna handle like crap compared to a stock truck
