Haven't noticed it yet you mean. It will cause you more problems than you think though if the suspension stays like that. Theres other ways to clear those tires without that type of angle as a consequence.

I just noticed something. Those are stock shocks. So I will go with this guess. 2.5" Daystar Spacer and 1" Block in the rear.

Cause it changes the angles of more than one thing. Not just UCA's, everything changes.

Ball Joints and UCA's aren't the only thing that changed angles...

Besides, your algnment will never stay the same, its constantly changing. Your UCA's are probably shaking like a ***** in church.

I said probably shaking, I have seen peoples shake before and be lose.

One last question are you sure those are 2" lift coils, that would be much more believeable.

Oh, P.s. Keep thinking, other parts do wear down in the front suspension.

His trucks tires will angle differently when its moving as well. When I just my spacer on it kicked the tires in like his but when the truck is moving they level out slightly, at least on mine they did, but the alignment corrects it.

Well, it's pointless. His truck, his suspension. Just let him do what he wants. Maybe when stuff starts breaking continuously, he'll rethink the spacers. Let's just find another thread guys, he isnt gonna listen and ya cant make em!
