Lift Installed--Alignment Questions

I finally got my lift installed (Eibachs with Bilsteins set at .85 and 2" AAL in the rear)….It took me forever and i did it in a driveway so yes i froze my ass off but i got it done…took it in to get it aligned and i was wondering what do you guys think of my numbers???….i'm already in the market for some UCA's but id like to know if my truck will be fine taking my normal cross country road trips with these numbers…

 

Caster looks really low. Won't hurt anything but may make the truck feel like its wandering a bit at higher speeds.

 

do the rear numbers look ok?…the first alignment shop i went to called me back and said they couldn't get the rear aligned…so i picked my truck up and took it to another shop right down the road

 

There should be no adjustments in the rear for these trucks. Nearly all pickups/suvs are this way. As stated above everything looks fine except your caster. Camber and Caster adjustments are made using the same eccentrics and many times aligning them is an either/or situation. E.g. putting camber in will throw caster out, or putting caster in will throw camber out. It is not always possible to get them both within specification. Camber is the more important of the two, since it will cause tire wear, whereas caster may cause the truck to feel like it is 'wandering' as stated above..

 

How much lift did you end up with in the front ?

 

I got around 2 3/8" of lift in the front and 2" in the back...I'm hoping my leaf springs will settle and drop a little...

 

Yeah, your caster is horribly low. Everything I've read, the closer to 3*, the better. You'll probably need new UCAs to get there though.

 

I'd go ahead and get new uca's. You can get Light Racing (spc) for just over 400$ That's what i have now. No wondering. Alignment is perfect. Easy to instal. If you offroad alot and got the cash, look in Camburg/Icon stuff.
