Spc ball joints

1. Those coil overs are the worst. They put to much strain on the suspension geometry.

2. Put the SPC joint to position D pulled all the way out and torque the nut to 150ft#'s.

 

No rubbing

 

Crow eaten. We don't sell the eibach kit here. I've tried recently, but supply is harder where I am.

The last boot I warrantied was a Toytech because of inboard.

 

Bought mine from toytec in 19. The whole setup has had 50k through it since then.

 

Thats what settings I run. Also running a 1.5 degrees of negative camber. 35s clear the firewall fine.

Eliminates the harsh clunk when you go airborne, prevents the ball joint from hitting the coil over, and protects the shock itself obviously. You'd be surprised at how many people crack the upper shock hat, more or less on the Icons since they have a weak design in the first place. Yeah, there's not as much unrpsung weight as the rear as the front is ifs, but you'd be surprised on how much force there is on the shocks when the front end is completely unloaded on a steep climb, and the tie rods flexing in and therefore trying to droop the suspension out.

 

It depends on how high your lift is the higher the lift the more it droop down. I bought mine set to 3.5" reason why is, with my front heavy bumper would bring it back down to 3" lift 3.5" is maxing it out and that's why my uca droop down and hits my coil. I did have a 3" lift with ome coil never had this problem.

 

I'll try that

 

mine is on the D setting

 

Thank you. I'll move my forward hopefully it will help.

 

I am also on the D setting. 2.5* (ish) caster 0* (ish) camber 3" +/- lift

 

OP they make boot replacement kits, you dont need to replace the whole ball joint if its still good.

Like others have stated slide it out and lock it down, you SHOULD be able to get proper camber with the D setting without having to slide it in to get clearance between ball joint and coil. Thats how my SPC arms are.

 

Thank you. I'll do that

 

How many inches of lift do you have???

 

i bought a 3inch kit with 620 springs so after settling and a bumper I’d say I’m sitting around 2.75inch? From the top of my 285s to the bottom of the fender flare is just under 6&1/4 inches.(I’m not sure if the truck was perfectly level when I took the measurement) Hope this helps

Attached is my exact lift

 

Just a helpful hint- Always measure from center of hub to bottom edge of fender flare. This allows us to compare apples to apples. Tire diameter changes due to many variables, so top of tire to the wheel well doesn't help.

 

Well then by that logic the measurement would be 22 3/4 -23 inches

 

I'm getting 23 1/2 on mine

 

so if you put your ballpoint all the way out on the slider you should be fine and have no rubbing

 

I just bought a pair for backup and just rebuild the other one for back up. So I'll set the new one on D and push it out when I install it
