pretty straight forward, may have to use a die grinder on the upper a arm mounts ( increase the slot in the mounting bracket)SNAKEGUTS said:Anybody do there own alignment after lowerin?:dontknow:

that is .393 inches for the math impaired :elefant:Chuck B said:As wifey mentioned you may have to increase the adjustment slot on 04/05 upper control arms. I had to go additional 10mm to give my alignment guy enough room to bring it all back correctly.
JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE said:take the truck sit it on level ground
run a string from the front of the tire to each side and the rear of the tire to each side
set it to where tthe truck has about a 1/16th inch toe in , or 1/16th less in the front
then run a string from the front to the rear of the tires jsut on the outside of the tire, you can striaghtend the steerin wheel this way,
after every adjsutment, roll the truck back and forth to settle the suspension
then take a normal level and run it up the side of the tire, in the center, get the bubble level on the pass side, that will be close to 0 degree camber, and a little outside on the drivers, you wnat about .2 camber on the drives side, since you arent too heavy a guy.
that will get you close enough to get it to the shop
if you have a protractor just set it on the level , you can measure the degrees that waySNAKEGUTS said:Thanks all.
Bout what I figured.
Will keep an eye on the camber and the upper a-arm mounts.
Also still workin on flipin the tie rods.
Nice to know I'm not the only guy who use's strings and levels. LOL!:rock:
Although I have beed lookin at the camber and toe gauge's.
