Alignment 2007 access cab 4.0

Can anybody give me hints on how to get my truck aligned. I took it to a trusted place and they said they can’t get it aligned because it’s lifted to much. I bought the truck it looks clean and it only has 120k. Thanks

 

Find another shop just don't tell them what the first said.
Some specs of what lift your truck has helps too.

 

It’s setting on 5100s 2.5

 

2.5" is where a lot of our trucks will need UCA's in order to get a proper alignment. I'd either get some UCA's or drop them down a notch and have them try again.

 

What kind of upper control arm?

 

try to find a different shop to get it align first before forking the $$ for UCAs.

 

There are a bunch of different ones out there take a pic of the front suspension you may have them hopefully

 

Either that shop didn't even try to improve the alignment or your truck has been wrecked and there's some bent stuff. Post pics of the position of your alignment cams and label them LF, LR, etc.

 

This is my upper and lower passenger side

 

When people say get new upper control arms do they mean get upgraded ones or I can get the stock ones

 

Im lifted at 3 inches on stock uppers and my alignment is 0 toe 0 camber 2.5 caster, find a different shop.

 

They mean Aftermarker control arms

 

upgraded ones that can be adjusted for more caster. stocks top out 2.5deg or less. but try another shop if you're trying to keep it on the cheap. see what @coopcooper said above.

also some just like more caster for the driving dynamics. but that's more $.

 

I’ll try another shop

 

Here are some more pictures

 

We used to use adjustable ball joints or “cam bolts”. They have a lobe or offset that allows for a couple extra degrees or adjustment. They make them for a lot of different vehicles.

 

You do have a lot of lift. That looks like more than 2.5" to me. This is not the 5100 lower spring perch. There is a very slight room for improvement on the passenger side cams, but not enough to bother with when you're sitting at -2. You need to measure from the wheel center to the fender flare to determine how much lift you really have. Also, with the big difference in camber, side to side, I suspect the right is substantially higher than the left.

 

According to bilsteins site the top notch is 2.5

 

This is approximately what a 5100 looks like on the highest setting. The 5100 lower perch gloves down over the clip quite a ways. You can see in the OPs pic, there is a lot more of the clip grooves showing and his lower perch looks like billet aluminum.

 

@Ish500 I hope you're not on your way to another shop, because you definitely don't have enough adjustment available to fix that mess. They're going to tell you the same thing as the previous shop, and charge you for checking it. I hate to be blunt, but there's no way to fix -2 degrees of camber and -0.2 caster with what you are working with.
