Tires squeak

Fixed it for ya!

 

Anyways... back to not derailing the thread...






Where's the uptravel on that shock?


The more I look at it the more I'm thinking that truck needs a full workover. Coilovers, spindle, drop bracket delete, at a minimum.

 

Somethings not right because the upper control arm is pointed toward the sky. Upper arm, lower arm and tie-rod should be more parallel. That'll cause bump steer like crazy

Knuckles too tall? Like not correctly matched to the DB lift kit?

 

This. That's what I was getting at when I said the shock looks like it's fully compressed. He's got adjustable coil-overs, they're just set really low. OP needs new UCAs then adjust the coil-overs to lift the front. That should help a lot. I'm interested to see if the rear is lifted or it the truck sits level.

 

It looks messed up like you have mismatched parts. Is the coil spring too short and/or too soft? It looks almost like you’re fully stuffed at ride height.

I also don’t see the typical top hat spacers that are part of a drop bracket lift. However, I believe Fox sells shocks that eliminate the need of the spacers.

I don’t understand why people are suggesting aftermarket UCAs. That doesn’t make any sense to be as they are not normally required for a drop bracket lift nor would they address the issues you have described nor the issues seen in the pictures of your suspension.

BTW, I’ve never heard of 5” drop bracket lift; only 4” and 6”.

Post more detailed information about the modifications you made to your truck.

 

Thank you guys for your advices,
Finally my truck drive nice and smoothly. we made 3 changes.
1. we lowered the suspension 1.5 inch rear (replace 5inch lift block by 3.5 inch lift block) 1 inch front (just adjust the coillovers)
2. we get a new align service ( I told the guy leave the caster close of 2)
3. we install new small tires and wheels (from 295/70/18 to 285/70/17) my new wheel doesn’t need wheel spacers offset is -12.

I think the previous owner make a mess with this lift.
I the truck working pretty good now but I want to replace the upper control arms for nice ones

 

Am I imaging things or have those spindles been replaced with taller ones? That would explain their weird UCA angle.

 

Drop bracket lift and aftermarket spindles. I know it rides better now after making adjustments, but if it were me I'd look into getting some stock spindles. Then raise the Icons back up. Either way, terrible lift choice by previous owner.
