Lifted Truck Alignment Pros Chime in!

Sounds like you and I were literally in the same boat as one another.

 

Yea. I might try the KO2 when my wear out. Called David at CB and should have them Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

So I did alot more driving this weekend and noticed that at speeds below 50 I am golden the truck drives amazing. When I get onto the highway its a little different still have some steering wheel reaction to the road. Alignment shop believes that it could be the stock struts being too soft....... my caster is maxed out currently and it cannot go any higher. I am comparing my truck to my previous truck which was a 2012 Crewmax with 3" spacers and 35" tires. I feel like the steering on that truck was rock solid where this truck the steering wheel to put it simply is sensitive. SO with all this being said I am still trying to hunt down the solution to the higher speeds issues. A shop near me installs alot of these spindle lifts and claims the only things they could imagine is a fix is alignment and/or wheel balance which both are dialed in. So I am still on the prowl truck drives nice its not TERRIBLE but those little things Im just trying to figure out.

 

Hate to hear that you still having issues with. I got mine back and after the balanced all my tires again it drove like a different truck!! But I know I have to hit a rough interstate tomorrow and I see how it does. My CB tie rod ends should be here Wednesday. If tire wear on outside still bad And bump steer I will be putting the CB on. Keep me posted and good luck!!

 

What from CB are you putting on for the bump steering his tie rod ends?

 

Yea. David said it will help with outside tire wear and bump steer.

 

Starting to play with PSI and dropped it down to 35psi seemed worse. Took it up to 45psi actually a noticeable improvement.

 

I am at 36 all four. Came from 40 psi

 

Ya did alot of driving this morning and I am noticeably better at 45PSI. Less wheel movement......Smoother ride and having felt any wobble as of yet. I think as the tires wear since they are brand new I should get better and better.

 

I try 45 today

 

Thanks.

 

How did the CB Steering Kit help ? did you get it on?

 

Still has not got here yet!! I ordered it Nov 14. Just got an email today from David that it was shipped today so it I should have it within 3-5 days. Truck drives really good so far just them rebalance all 4 tires.

 

You still having issues?

 

Im actually doing very good..... truck has no shake still has slight bump steering on really bad roads but nowhere near a degree i feel i should be worried at all. I will eventually jump up too the CB Steering kit as well which i have been told will eliminate it completely. Excited to hear how it does for you.

 

David told me that it will fix my issue and be able to cycle more when I hit dips in the road. I am hoping to have them put on next week if I get them by Friday.

 

Just got the tracking number!! Be here Friday Night!! Sucks I will be out of town. But I sent you some pictures of them when I get back.

 

Hey man just got an email saying that my tie rod ends are at my house. We went camping this weekend and when I get back I send u some picture of them before I put them on.

 

Sounds good curious to hear how they do for you.

 

Just pulled the trigger on CB steering kit as well...... over all the vibes and movement in the wheel. Touched base with David @Coachbuilder1 one more time to ensure this would help me and he was extremely confident these are going to make alot of my problems disappear.

 

Great to here!!! I have not made it home yet but when I do I will unwrap them and send you a picture!!!

 

Hey man here it is.

 

Look extremely nice! Excited to hear about the difference they make.

 

Me too!!!

 

Installing my CBs tonight you ever get yours on?

 

CBs are on tough to tell how they feel truck needs to be realigned badly

 

Here are my stock ends. Boots are pretty blown out from the bottom and you can move the threaded rods by hand extremely easy. Safe to say they were pretty much done. CB's were so tight I could not move them by hand.

 

Hey @throughitalldude where are you located??

 

Corona

 

If your issues haven't been resolved or acts up again, I recommend Bear Frame and Wheel in La Puente. @BestGen told me about 'em and I have been very happy with their work.
