Paging Nikslightning Alignment
Paging Nikslightning Alignment
Nick, I got my Camber kit from the local Ford dealer and then I drove the Lightning to a Alignment shop to have the Lightning aligned. I had to call around first to find a shop that would do lowered trucks because, I did not want a shop that could not drive my truck up there alignment rack. I finally found a shop they put 2 pieces of wood on the front of the rack so they could drive my truck up there ramps to avoid damaging under my front bumper. I asked the alignment shop how they were going to mount the alignment tools to my chrome rims to avoid damaging or scratching my rims they used some rubber ends on there alignment tools that hook to rims to avoid any damaging to my rims. About three months later my coils started settling so I had to have alignment redone then a year went by and had the alignment checked again I was lucky that the shop did not charge me for the next 2 alignment appointments I had. Make sure you get a Alignment if not you will ruin your new tires!!!
Hope this is some help, djy

Thank you very much for the information DJY.
I think I will do the same, just get the kits from napa and get the alignment shop to put them on. I noticed you have a total qty. of 8, what exactly comes with the kit that you got? Im pretty clueless when it comes to alignments so any info. you can give me would help.
One other thing, what shocks do you recommend for a more sturdier ride in the rear? I need something to help with the bottoming out other than a C-section. I pull a boat and will be carrying a motorcycle shortly so I will need all the help I can get.
BTW..Your truck looks awesome too....
I just wish I had the sound system you have.......Maybe later
Thanks
