2nd Gen 4x4 35s 3" Lift w/o BODY LIFT

Test fit the 315 mtr's yesterday. Now what's the trick to get a shop to give you more caster? Each place I've called said they wouldn't give me more than oem spec.

Fenders need to be cut asap.


The new cmc plan.

 

Keep calling around or do it yourself with the JBerry diy alignment thread for ref?

 

Right on, I'll have to dig that up. Thanks Jon

 

I keep forgetting about it. Jason @Evenflow reminded me today.

The DIY isn't really bad at all!

It's a pain to get the exact measurement for Caster. BUT. One person suggested that one full turn of the wheel is almost a perfect 20 degrees, so you can do that to measure caster. Another thing you can try, is maxing out the rear cam for caster, and then playing the balance game to get your camber to 0 degrees. My truck drives perfectly straight down the road, with 0 degrees of camber and right around 4 degrees of caster.

 

Just read through it, solid write up. I have everything sans somewhere flat to work. May have to set up shop behind the local home depot.

 

The trick is to find someone that actually knows how to set alignment. When someone says "we can only set it to factory specs", that means they only know how to adjust with the machine telling them what to do.

 

Dont have any pictures currently but my fender is trimmed, firewall beaten, and cmc all done!

 

Hopefully Home Depot has polished concrete!

 

Truck looks good with those 35's

 

Did you weld in that plate on the cab mount already? If not I'd suggest waiting till you get your alignment where you want and can test to see if it rubs. As many of us know, the first cut was not the last cut. Haha

 

Looks like its far enough back. Mines probably about the same and I dont think its hit tire yet.

 

Thanks Andrew, this thread is dangerous.

Good call, no welding yet. I did some minor cycling last night and identified quite a few more problem areas. I'll have to pull the CO's this weekend to get a better idea of what else needs to go.

 

Whoa bro! Slow down. You mean to tell me you are going to properly cycle the suspension?

 

What do you mean by cycle suspension?@tacostag and @iJonny

Contra was my game and I have it emulated on my laptop. #nerdlife

TacoStag, that could be the TW Stig in black.

To cycle the suspension one must remove the coil springs and cycle the suspension on just the shocks. )Meaning with the tire on, use a floor jack to fully bump/droop each side) You will also do this while turning the wheel. This way he can know exactly how far he needs to go to clear that 35. While in there you can set bumps or straps if needed.

This is just for the front. The rear is a bit different.

 

^^ thanks
