    +1. I'm running 285s and just over 3" of lift from the coilovers and I think I'm 38.5" to the bottom of the fender at the center of the wheel.

    Here is a thread with a picture of my CV angle. I did get an alignment already.

    Thanks! It took about an hour per side to install both the coilovers and UCAs.

    I guess I'm just waiting to see if they are going to settle a bit. I wonder if I'm going to have to take the coilovers off AGAIN (4th time) to adjust. Do you think I might be able to adjust while on the truck since I would be removing tension?

    If you can adjust them while they are on the truck, more power to you! I sure couldn't get it to budge... There's just too much pressure on those plates without allowing the strut to turn with the coilover.

    I feel your pain though - I had to take mine off twice for adjustment (not counting the initial adjustment before install), but I just chocked it up to my lack of knowledge/experience in the first place that led to my incorrect settings. Then it was simply a trial and error to see what I could get away with...
