So I put on my procomp lift and tried to get it aligned, got the specs back and everything was in the green. Two weeks now and I am seeing the inside wear more then the out side and took it back to 4wheelparts. They told me that due to differences in the truck and lift that my rear cam bolts are maxed out and they need a little more to stop the inside tire wear. They said to get my alignment right they would need to take the lift off reem out the rear mounting holes, redrill the differental hole and basicly redo the whole lift. What do you guys think of that? Its not really really bad and the guy swears it wont be too big of a problem , he says just to keep them rotated and I will be fine. Any options or thoughs on an easy way to fix it? A judge on how bad is the inside nubs are just about gone while the out side are almost all still there in about 2 weeks. Help!! I can get you guys my specs of the alignment if anybody knows how to read them and tell me how bad it really is.

 

i'd take the specs to another shop and see what they would say,,,, or show the new alignment specs to a dealer and see just how much they are off!!!!

or have another shop check the alignment!!!

something to think about!!

 

as long as your not paying for it, i would jsut let them do it

 

dont sound right to me.... get a second opinion.

 

ya that sounds a little fishy i mean if its the camber thats out then you shoule be able to get a camber kit to correct the problem, i remember someone saying that they had to do that to get it in spec.

 

I am paying for it bacause I did the install so they will only warrenty the alignment its up to me to fix the lift problem. I think the camber kit is only for stock trucks all the camber you can get out of a lift is allready built in with those cam bolts and guide rails. Also I had my mobile alignment guy try the first night and he couldnt get it quiet right so thats why I took it to 4wheelparts, I am guessing he had it as good as they do but knew it would still wear the inside and cared but 4wheelparts as long as its in the green they dont care. Also I can see that the rear cam bolts are maxed out. 4wheelparts told me that everytruck is different and everylift is a little different because the jig moves ever so little with each heating of the welding until they put it back into spec every so meny lifts built.

 

get a second opinion. Ask around and with other 4x4 shops and get a repitable alignment shop. i would not trust 4Wheel parts to modify my lift. If another shop say's the same thing, contact procomp about the problem before reaming out holes because you will start to weaken everything. You might want to recheck all the lift bolts to make sure everything is still tight after the lift has settled.

 

if you dont trust 4wheelparts you shouldnt trust pro comp either considering they are owned by 4wheelparts.....

 

I woulnd't trust them at all. It seems when "owners" have a problem and go back they don't care because they have so many other open cases/lawsuits.

 

Example
1) 1979 RANCHO, FRAME USED FOR MANY MODELS.
Used bending rods as part of the normal process.
Wife went in and had them change the "defective rod"
Four years and three sets of tires later I found out.
Last production model and last frame I think.
After that no one could make it work.
Talked to a tek at sears, did his best, worked ok but
not the same.

2) Bought tires from a place for a 1995 f150, free balance.
First time ok, jump to fifth time, It was worst than when I took
it in, tried it again (it is now about to bounce off of the road).

I had had not good results from ford, but told them my problem.
Ford did a great job, No more vibration.

NOTE
One thing not said on fords, proberly in in all, is
when you can feel a vibration in your truck, your supension is
under extreem stress, about times 10 as a use factor, to feel it,
so find out why. The trucks are built so they damp the vibration.
A new front end is now getting to about 2k to 5k
is that worth it.

I also do not think car tires should be put on a truck.
If the rating is good they will last. The problem is on
fords they will act different as speed increases.
Now days sidewalls are so soft it is like ice.

By the way 1995 f150 30k yr present 350k?
2 ply walls, too soft, 6 ply walls (trailer) floats in any
water(if it is damp it will hydro-plane).
