Re: Allignments, Camber Bolts, & Leveling Kits

I have the stage 1 lift.

So, I got the truck back today after the 4th alignment in a month. The last time it was aligned it popped and cracked really bad for a few miles and then on and off for a couple of days before I got it back to them. They told me when I brought it back that the alignment was way off. The popping was the cam bolts moving.

What they told me was the floating in the a arms was causing it to move it out of alignment. I know when the lift was put on that they were tightened up as tight as we could get them and you could see where the black paint on the cross members was scrapped off where they turned. So to fix this they put washers in. On the 30 minute ride home, I had no more popping, the tires where quieter, the steering was great and no pulling to the right. Once I got home, i checked the distance between the tires and the front bumper and now they are the same on each side. (And no, i was not over exaggerating about the inch difference.) The wheels look centered better in the wheel well and the left side that rubbed before is now further back and doesn't rub.

It appears the noise and alignment issues where coming from the floating a arms. So far so good. It is a night and day difference with the washers.
