Control Arm Angles

so i recently lifted my dcsb OR with the bilstein 5100s set to the 1.75 setting and the angle of the control arm was so off that it was damn near touching the spring..well anyway i bought the total chaos uca and im just wondering before i install them do i need anything else in order to get the geometry back to "semi" factory? taller spindle?

 

Sounds like the 5100's are not installed correctly. Make sure the spring seat is not upside down. Post some pics of the 5100's you have currently installed.

 

That looks unusually steep. What the measurement from the center of the wheel to the opening of the fender?

 

Spring perch is on wrong

 

Something's wrong with that setup. Too much lift. Perhaps you preloaded a spring that you aren't supposed to.

 

Curious to see the outcome on this. That does look unusually steep

 

spring perch is what exactly..maybe i know it in different terms

 

Is that an Eibach spring? if .85 is the highest setting for those

 

bought the entire kit from toytec..so i used the springs that were given

 

Looking at it again, thats not a stock spring. Generally you're supposed to leave the 5100 at 0 with an aftermarket spring. I'm sure you just got too much lift. Type of truck?

Yeah. You can't use a lift spring and then preload it. Just asking for trouble

 

Or .85 at the most second notch on the shock

 

Double cab or access cab?

EDIT: DUH. you told me. Nevermind

 

double

 

OP is your truck sitting on the ground in that pic or up on a lift?

 

so essentially if i wanted set at 1.75 i would have to use the stock springs? and if not move it down to the .85 setting?

 

on the ground

 

How much lift are you looking to achieve?
