Alignment Issues with Boss kit and SPC arms

I think I have a communication issue with the shop doing the alignment but... I'll ask. Has anyone ever had trouble getting aligned with the boss kit and SPC arms? The front is at ~3" lift.

As a side the preload on those springs was nuts. My front was up about 6" initially. They have since been cranked down but enjoy the picture!

 

Communication issue confirmed - it's aligned now.

 

Good to hear!

 

They didn't install the perch upside down did they?

 

No, it was some confusion about how the SPC cam plates work and that translates to camber and caster adjustments. Most likely I wasn't clear enough in explaining that to the shop.

 

Post up your alignment sheet. Being the shop didn’t seem to competent...I’m having a strong feeling your alignment isn’t right either, despite what they say based off the “green” specs

 

Yeah for sure can do.

 

Picture attached. I wouldn't call them incompetent more unfamiliar. They don't deal with a lot of lifts. Hopefully these look inline with what the numbers should be.

 

That still looks pretty far off of what I would settle for given the parts on the truck...

 

What should they be?

 

As expected. Alignment is horrible. Camber is way off. You’ll be eating through tires in no time like that. Need to be as close to 0 as possible. 0 to .1 is acceptable. Caster is good, but also setup wrong. Should have more caster on the right to accommodate the crown in the road.

They did what’s called a “toe and go”. All they did was set the toe and didn’t touch anything related to the actual important alignment specs. They basically did nothing you paid them to do lol

 

Well shit ok I'll go back to them. Thanks for the feedback

 

No problem. I dealt with incompetence when I lifted my truck and tried getting it aligned. Luckily it only took twice. I literally told the fussy guy what to shoot for and he turned it over to me not even remotely close. Wound up bringing it to a suspension and chassis shop recommended by a local 4wd shop that knew exactly what to do

 

don't blow up your CVs with that 6" lift up front.

 

Hope you get it worked out, this is what I'm planning on running

 

No worries that didn't last long.

 

Yeah I thought the numbers seemed too high at first glance but I wasn't sure what was reasonable. I mean I know 0° is what I want but didn't know acceptable margin of error. I'm hopeful I can get them pointed in the right direction. He also brought the front end down a hair farther than I wanted. That was at my direction not knowing how much the front would settle out. So I'll crank it back up a little and get it fixed. I'm planning for new tires so I'm alright with these get worn a little while it gets figured out.

 

Yeah I'm not sweating it. I didn't have a lot of experience with coil over lifts before this - I didn't know what I didn't know.

 

HTF did you end up at 6"?? And yes that alignment is terrable this is what you want...I have .1 camber and 3.1 caster with spc uca's.

 

6" is what they were set to out of the box. I didn't know what to expect when I got so I installed them like that.

Thanks for the numbers. There is certainly room to adjust both - should be able to get there
