CV angle

How bad is this cv angle to you guys?? Shop did a diff drop on it when installing the lift but to me it just doesn’t look ideal...

 

On the ground? I’m thinking no bueno

 

Gotta Lower the lift a little you think?

 

Either you're lifted into the stratosphere or they didn't drop the front differential very much. Or maybe both.

 

How much lift is that? Don’t usually want to go over 2.5 ish

 

It’s Bilstein 5100s all around, fronts are set at the highest setting. But without running it by me they installed a top plate spacer to give me more lift, if anything do I need to take that spacer out? It’s causing my Uca to rub on coils too..

 

At the very minimum, loose the spacers and re-align.

 

This. With that top plate spacer I’m thinking like 4+ inches of lift? I wouldn’t even drive it before getting that fixed

 

This is before and after the lift. I’d like to keep the height if I could, but just need to figure out a way to get better cv angles and also stop the uca by rubbing (probably a new uca). If I ditch the top spacers I’ll lose some lift and I’ll be back to where my front is well lower than the rear again

 

Yeah that’s wayyy too much lift for the cvs. And stock ucas as well

 

I’ll start with taking the spacers off the top and see where that brings me down too and if still needed I’ll get UCA’s I’m thinking?

 

It’s gonna be really hard to make it level with how much lift you have in the rear without killing your cvs. I removed an overload spring. But yeah I’d go for some ucas

 

I wanna keep the height in the front just to keep it level with the rear. Will new UCA’s help with all my problems that I’m already so far into? Such as cv angles and stock UCA’s rubbing coils

 

Not the CV angles. The aftermarket ucas will help with more downward travel and should fix the rubbing on the coil. But that’s an insane amount of lift in the front, your cvs will be toast relatively quickly

 

Yeah I was hoping for 2.5-3 in the front and they got 3.5 outta it which I wasn’t too pleased about. Guess I’ll have to call them tomorrow and see about getting those spacers taken out

 

Even if you completely removed the CV’s the truck will still ride like complete shit because you have zero dropout. I don’t and never will understand why people want to lift their trucks but that’s a whole different issue for me to work through

 

At a minimum I’d do that

 

Ok thank you, this is frustrating

 

If you want it more level I’d lower the rear then. Not worth killing your truck

 

I just don’t want to pay an arm and a leg to re do the whole process as it was just done yesterday. They just did an AAL in the rear with 5100 shocks then the front as we’ve already talked about. Unless I could talk them into saying they did it wrong and that it’s still under warranty
