    Just installed a King Stage 4 suspension from Accutune. No problems in the rear. In the front we installed new icon UCAs, King shocks, cam tab gussets from Total Chaos, and spindle gussets from Total Chaos. Lower control arms are stock.

    The issue: the front end sags very low (I mean like chopped and slammed low) when the vehicle is reversing and the wheels are positively cambered. When driving forward, the front end raises and the wheels become negatively cambered. The vehicle has yet to be aligned (will do Monday). We have not adjusted preload at all but the plan was to level it with the rear (rear is 2.5” over stock).

    Any advice or experience with this problem?

    What's the spring rate on the coils? It will be printed on the side. Too high spring rate and you won't be able to lower your ride height.

    Did you tighten the LCA cam bolts with the suspension drooped out? Those need to be loosely snugged before sitting the truck down, and then torqued when the vehicle is under its own weight.

    The coils are probably at OE spec and no lift.. You need to get an alignment, I'm guessing you tightened the cam bolts with no weight on the truck.

    Ive had similar issues after replacing LCA bolts, the cause of this is becaues there is too much toe in (brings tires together when going forward, and farther apart when reversing).
    All you need is an alignment.

    If you regularly do any wheeling I would recommend a lifetime alignment at Firestone. Last time I checked ~$200

    Did you try calling or emailing us yet? We're always happy to help.

    -Not sure your order and what spring rates you have, but I don't think thats the issue.
    -You should set ride height before getting the alignment done.
    -Alignment should take care of your issue.
