    Hello, I have a 06 dc shortbox with 6" lift. Camrock Uca's. Bilstein 5100 adjustable front shocks. The shocks were set at lowest with alignment and all good. Last night i pulled out the shocks and moved the ring up to the first notch, 0.75 i believe. Put everything back in and now i have a wheel shake that seems to come from pass side front tire that starts at about 80kms/hr. Im thinking maybe the toe might be out a bit now but not positive. Just looking for other opinions. Thanks

    Anytime to change the setting on the shocks it'll throw the alignment off. You'll likely need an adjustment to get rid of the shake.

    Toe could be slightly off (these trucks have some bump steer) but shouldn't cause much shaking. So you are effectively at 6.75" lift now? Maybe the CV angles are not happy.

    Could also be something not tightened correctly when you pulled and reinstalled the shocks. Is there any play in the steering tie rods? Are the LCA bolts to the frame tight?

    Ive done all the work myself minus alignments and everything has been replaced and yes everything is tight. I will rotate tires and take it in for an alignment. Angles are all still good too. Thanks for the input its much appreciated
