Adjust your LCAs out or adjust the UCAs in or some of both.

I just noticed you are in OKC. Jackie Cooper on NW expressway is a good place to get a 4x4 alignment. That is where 4WPW sends their lifted trucks for alignments. They have those new 3D laser machines there. They aligned mine after I put my ball joint spacers in and got everything within Toyota specs.

hey thank you man! i will try to see if it all works..

yup the camber needs adjustment.. if you can see they have positvie camber, im willing to bet you have a minimum of 2* positive camber and that can lead to messing up the tires in only a couple thousand miles.....

by "2".. do u mean 2 degrees? cus i just got new tires and they adjusted the camber and they said that it is ok that its 2 degrees off. errr crap!

jimbo74

well 2 degrees in relation to 0* being the actual spec...... 4-5* actually looks pretty close to this \ /

if i cant adjust is there a camber kit? that will extend the stressed pieces? i really have no clue about any of this....and haven't been able to talk to my dad about it yet.

just need as much help as i can....

No camber kits for trucks that I know of, only sports cars. You should have enough adjustment avaliable with your LCA adjustment cams to compensate for the spacers. I did anyway. I hear the stock UCAs also have a cam adjustment to adjust the camber, so between those two you shouldn't have any problems with adjustment. But that is all something you are going to want the alignment tech to do for you anyway, it would be part of the alignment. The only reason I would adjust them myself would be to get it close so the drive to the alignment shop wouldn't be so scary.

on most vehicles where there is uca adjustment points there may be no kits available, however if the cam bolts that secure the uca to the frame are already maxxed out of adjustment, some places can modify them to get them within specs... some vehicles can use a method of slotting the holes and some use aftermarket bolts with differnt washer plates

got my cams adjusted and aligned today.. thank you for all your help

Good, they also have the best tire balancing in town (Hunter Road Force balancer). That's where I bought my 33" BFG Mud-T. Sometimes it takes a couple times for the tech to get it right though. Plan on it taking about 1-2 hours to get 4 tires balanced.
