Official 5-lug Suspension Setup Thread

3 Questions for those that have the 2.75 spacer and aal. After install I got the truck aligned and my steering wheel is about an inch off when traveling straight. Is this normal? I can live with it but it annoys me a bit.
How many have had the lift long term? I looked under the truck and thought the drive shaft angled up but it seems to drive fine.
Lastly I put procomp shocks in rear. They don't come with a spacer and the hole in the bushing is large so I cut out the steel spacer from the oem shocks and stuff them into the bushing, seems to fit and work perfectly. Sometimes when I go over bumps It sounds like something is knocking. It isnt very loud and no one notices it when I have people in the truck but it is driving me crazy. I have shook and shaked and jumped on the bumper and everything in cabin and cant find it.not sure if it is the shocks or something else. Is it possible it is just truck noises?Any suggestions? Thanks

 

I had procomps in the rear and I would hear a knocking sound aswell untill I changed them out to bilstein 5100s couldn't been happier no knocks now !

 

Thanks. I figure that is my problem. Will be ordering some new shocks soon.

I know i have asked you a million questions but here is one more.I just ordered the same wheels as you.I know you said the tpms works with them. Do they work with the stock lug nuts? Thanks. Your truck is cool and I am copying your wheels.

 

Lookin forward to them mounted im using my stock lug nuts.

 

Woo hoo lookin good! Welcome to 33's, any rubbing so far?

 

Thanks man.

 

No rubbing full turn either way. I know it'll rub when I flex though.

 

Yes flexing is a different headache but achievable. Looking forward to more pics

 

Just bought some used TC upper control arms and procomp coilovers, they should be here Monday.

 

don't think they make any coil overs for the 5 lugs, besides icons :/?

 

Thanks for the offer but I just got a free set from my dad when he got new tires. I'm going to get a separate set of rims and only run these off road to save mpg and some strain on the truck.

if have pics of the stuff people can help more as for diagnosing.(spacer, shock install) the stock shock rubber piece comes out and fits the white pro comp shock the bottom rubber piece and is a tighter fit after you take it out it looks like an hour glass just press it in the new shock. (dish soap makes it easier ) should be less sloppy . as for the steering wheel that is not normal and i would complain to the people who did the alignment . lazy on there part for not checking it .

 

Nice. will see how long that plan lasts. once you put them on they want come off.

 

They're only for offroading so they'll come off often lol

 

From my understanding the only difference is the way theyre mounted to the top hat which an adapter is included with the tc kit, and also clearance. The tc kit advises cutting the steel bump stop pad to clear for coilovers.

 

I wonder if a regular 6 lug shock works with a tc uca just have to use a 5 lug top hat
