Alabama thread!

I’m not arguing that point. I have to run spacers to get my tires off the UCA (same wheel setup you are running). You and I both had to cut more running the spacers than someone with an aftermarket wheel that doesn’t stick out as far.

but if the issue is the cab mount, the spacers make it worse not better.

 

I just hope @newdles gets this fixed so he can have piece of mind. I hate situations like this. Makes me in a pissed off mood.

 

Well just left 4 wheel parts and they say go back to stock UCAs.

 

Look at where the ball joint on your factory UCA is located and then look at it on an aftermarket one. On the aftermarket one, it's further back if you compare them side by side. When you go to attach the spindle back to the UCA ball joint, the spindle is going to more angled backwards. Alignment tech will rotate your lower control arm forward to match new angle of your spindle. I've watched them do alignments on my truck many times before and seen the tire move forward or backwards, depending on how they adjust your lower control arm.

 

Yup i agree 1000%

 

What??? 3 alignment shops can't align your truck with aftermarket UCAs with 3-4 degrees positive caster?

 

I’m headed there next maybe I have luck then. If not I’m saying screw it and going home to change UCAs.

koslin is the oral surgeon

 

Poor @newdles, I know this has got to be frustrating, considering many have run this exact setup, UCAs/285s/SCS wheels without any problems.

 

@newdles

I'd go to Hoover like Brian suggested, or if he really wants to make the drive, come to Sunny King. I've seen them align a truck with aftermarket UCAs and 33" mud tires. No rubbing afterwards. His was a 3rd gen as well.

 

Where’s this?

 

Idk man whenever yall plan one, finally got over wifes bday daughters bday. So maybe ill have some time, got a free weekend April 25-26 so maybe get one for sure planned then.

 

Hoover will be closer. Sunny King would be another 1.5 hour drive on top of that. When I get UCAs and 33" tires, I would have confidence taking it to Sunny King. Be sure to tell them that you want at least 3-4 degrees of caster.

 

What dentist do you use my wife works at bivona dentist they refer alot to koslin, I think scott crump could do it for real

 

Do you run aftermarket UCAs? I know Scott Crump is closer to newdles than Hoover or Anniston. Trying to help this guy out!

 

I use Stafford dental in jasper but they referred me to dr koslin for possible surgery.

 

At Firestone in Hoover now across from Krispy Kreme. Is this the one that you said would be good? Reason I ask is talking to the tech he’s not sure.

 

This the Firestone across from Krispy Kreme?

 

Yea I got built right their not adjustable, with uniballs I bought um used from jalldredge. They've been great though and quit.

Yea staffords good too, ive never had koslin do anything im sure their good. I really think scott crump could allign you up, they never questioned my built rights I had a spacer lift gonna try again with my kings but i doubt theyll say anything again.

 

Don’t give up on the JBA UCAs. They are not the issue. They will be the solution once you can get a proper alignment. Tell them what numbers you want and don’t leave until you get it.

gotcha. Dr. Carr did my surgery when I had my jaw relocated

 

negative, that’s a different one. Near the corner of 119 and 31. About a minute from 4wp.

the location it irrelevant as long as you get a compitent tech.
