    5 inch tuff country lift, adjustable bilsten 5100's. Toyo MT's on 16' wheels. Magma flow muffler. Viper alarm/auto start. Moog sway bar links,tie rod ends and lower control arm bushings.
    just replaced my lower control arm bushings yesterday. I marked the came bolts before removing them. After reinstalling them I went and got a alignment. I noticed that my marks on the cam plates didn't more. Why didn't they touxh them? My toe from the tie rod ends got dixed. It drives straight ...... Hunter alignment.

    Well they probably didn't need to adjust them if all you did was replace your bushings and put the cams back where they were when you tightened em.

    Thanks for the reassurance I appreciate it after being involved in a head-on collision in a matching 2002 Toyota, TRD I'm really skeptical of nervous about driving something like that but hey it save my life they cut me out of the cab image.jpg broken bones

    Yes it was tragic . I'm not going to go into the story . It is sad :-( somerhing I have to live with. So know I'm trying to build a matching truck. This one was 4 wheeled pretty hard by a 20 year old kid out of tillamook Oregon.

    Was the vehicle within spec when you got it back? I'd think that is what matters most.

    Yes the blocks are angled to account for the pinion angle. It however has nothing to do with the carrier. Most times it wont be an issue, if it does create a vibration just drop it with some washers like i mentioned in your other thread.

    Hu? Even in that pic it dosent show any bump stop pads on the ends of those brackets. What the shit is up with that? You gotta have those things, i wonder why tuff country dosent seem to think they are necessary?

    Fyi for you other readers im referring to another thread the OP has where we have been discussing a lack of bump stops with this lift kit and he is having a harsh feel coming from the suspension while going over bumps...

    I'm learning here. Is it cause they say to use a stock strut up front . I bought 5100s and have them at zero

    I'm confused... Are we talking about an old truck the OP had an accident in, or a newer trucks alignment issues.
