What size tires are you running? Take off the spacer lift and start over...

 

Shittttttt......

31" tires @Gearheadesw

I gotta pay someone to do that...

I am not a mechanic

 

BUMP

 

No matter what you do, UCA's and an alignment will be a must if you want to keep that amount of lift.

 

Just rechecked it but will do again thx @Rock Lobster

 

get rid of that god forsaken spacer lift NOW.

 

It isnt hard. Just nuts and bolts. There is a part two. I did my own lift with the help of a friend. Neither of us had done anything like this before. At least not in the last ten years.

Things won't change until you get rid of that spacer lift and start over. If you don't have money, live with it until you can. Or don't, just sway at 55mph.

 

TW and it's members are like a chill-pill for me.

 

The spacers aren't the problem. The truck being lifted past the point of being able to align properly is the problem.

Here are your options:
1. Get UCA's and a new alignment
2. Take out spacers and get new alignment.
3. Get a different lift, UCA's and a new alignment.
4. Get a smaller spacer and a new alignment.
5. Get a smaller lift and a new alignment.

 

Option 3 seems best but most expensive. Thank you for all the help today @Justinlhc

 

This is why spacer lifts are shit.

 

This!! I do agree with you, the first option 3 (you have two #3) is the best route but most expensive. Do you do any off-roading OP? Or plan to?

 

He would have the same issue with any other "lift" at that height with stock control arms.

 

Doh! Haha

 

I was thinking the same thing. You can get a nice set of Fox or Icons, crank that shit up to desired height with OEM UCA and it's safe to assume it'll ride like shit.

 

I see 2 things wrong. Those are not stock upper control arms that i can tell. And that spacer lift is not supposed to be used at the same time as that upper control arm combo. There is no way that can be aligned like that. I know i run an auto shop. a 2" spacer is fine with stock parts......UCA's and stock struts. Not after market UCA'S with a spacer. if you take it off your gonna rub your tires. If it were mine i would seriously find out the manufacturer of UCA's and see if they can recommend something. But other than that your gonna need to change the angle of the upper ball joint. Not to worry this can be done. But your gonna need an alignment spec sheet and post it here and i can determine the offset of the ball joint you need to swap it out for to correct the angle and still use your stuff on there. The wheel spacers are gonna make it way worse and scary wobbly! You got to do a toyota level kit right or your in for trouble. I want to see an ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATION SHEET! I can tell you instantly what the issue is and i can even tell if its a fake sheet i.e. someone pulls on the heads and then saves the sheet data. Get one and well see.

 

Im almost certain your gonna need these arms with adjustable balls joints that come in them. SPCAlingnemnts part #25470 pair UCA's with adjustable ball joints. Here is a link it also has a video on how to install them.

Not true. I have been at and above 2" with stock control arms. Alignment was fine and there was virtually no detectable sway. Maybe the 12's rceived control arms woth extended range ball joints, but I never had a problem whatsoever.
