Need Help: Installed OME 886 coils and camber is too positive.

    I just installed the OME kit with Dakars in the back and 886 coils/nitrocharger sports in the front. I also installed the LR UCAs. I got the 886 because I was planning on getting a bumper/winch in the future. I think I screwed up though, because the camber is way off. It seems that the 886 coils are just way more than I need with the access cab and the stock bumper.
    I think the solution is to swap the 886 coils with 885 coils. What do you think?

    I have an alignment scheduled for today, but I'm not sure if I should even bother until I swap out the coils. Is there anything the shop could do or would i just be wasting my time?

    Thanks in advance!

    If you haven't driven it yet, you should take her around the block. Looks like it isn't settled. You are correct that the 886 coils are overkill for your setup, but you will be glad to have them when you put that bumper and winch on.

    I drove it from my friend's garage back to my house, which is about 7 miles. It feels stiff as hell, but otherwise ok. I'm trying not drive it too much until I figure it out. Seems the tires would wear poorly if i leave it the way it is.

    If this pic is after you drove it I would guess you did something incorrect when installing the SPC arms. An alignment shop should be able to get her dialed in.

    Like @RogueTRD said, wait a couple days for things to settle. Also the alignment will fix the camber. But without the bumper/winch the ride will be rough

    That pic is after the install, after I drove it home. I have the spindle sitting as far in as it will go. I have the caster on the "D" setting, which should put me at 0 degrees. I'll drive it around a little more, and also get an alignment. Thanks for the input!

    Once you get the bumper and winch it will smooth out a little but until then its gonna be a little stiff.

    See what the alignment shop says. That camber is seriously off, I wouldn't even want to drive it like that.

    So on Sunday I took it to Pep Boys because they were the only place that was open. They said a cam was seized, but they did the best they could. They got it driving straight, mostly, but the camber was still jacked. So today I took it to an alignment specialist and they made it perfect. It feels so much better than it did before. The ride is still way stiff, but that doesn't bother me.
    Thanks for your help! You guys rock!

    Glad you got it worked out!

    What kind of bumper do you plan to add?

    Thanks! I'm thinking something from CBI, but my mind isn't totally made up yet.
