Alabama Mod Day Thread - Date: April 15

I have a ton of adjustment to do after the install, and then have to get it aligned. I have to do about 200 miles of driving this weekend, and can't chance having the truck not right. The 12 to 14 hour work days haven't helped either.

 

About to get my alignment today. Does it matter who I get to do it or just any tire shop?

 

please do not go to "just any tire shop". Some have no idea what they are doing.

 

I'm just going to the biggest one around here. They do RC lifts so they gotta know more than a "Express" tire shop right?

 

RC- rough country? any ol' Joe can do that. I'd ask guys on here in your area who they've used or had success with.

 

I can't remember where you're at in the state. If your Birmingham, there is a tire engineers in Pelham that does a pretty good job. Haven't used 4wheel parts, they may be good. I would avoid southern off-road though.

 

If I get alignment specs how do I know if they're good

 

There's a thread on here that lists the proper lifted alignment numbers.

 

Does my front tires looked bowed in

 

Yes, but mine do as well.

 

Look how it's wearing. Is that tire pressure or alignment? It was aligned earlier today.

 

Looks like you're going to need UCA's.

 

How do you know? How long can I got without?

 

If you just got an alignment, that tells me that they couldn't adjust the camber any further. That's why your tires are leaning.

You can leave it like that as long as you can afford to keep replacing your front tires. You're going to wear the inside of them first.

 

It's different for each truck. Some need UCA's at that height, and some don't.

It also may have helped that yours came off a truck that had a 170lb bumper sitting on them for a few months.

 

Would it hurt to go back to check if they could go out more?

 

All of it was great runs great just the paint was bad but I am just going to build it to be like a crawler/mud toy over the next couple months then take it up on the mountain here and probably tear somthing up.

 

Never hurts to check. They should have told you that they couldn't get it right though.

 

Ok so time will tell but if like to make this,

 

So tire pressure has nothing to do with it? I asked them for the sheet with specs and they said they couldn't produce it since I asked afterwards. But it is for sure not aligned?
