Problems alligning after suspension lift
Problems alligning after suspension lift
Hi i have a 2007 ford f150 crewcab 4x4 and have had my 6" stage 2 procomp lift on my truck for about a year and a half and the first time i got it alligned the guy said he couldnt get it dead on but its pretty close to. I took it in for another alignment last month and he said the same thing but we talked and he said it could be because the way pro comp made there lift or could be the 6inches or the fact that the 04 -07 f150s werent designed for a 6in lift he has done many 4"lifts and say they all align perfect im just trying to figure out if its a problem with my lift or the install or just paranoya and if a new allignment kit would help fix this problem. thanks
i believe it is the camber. i had the paper and now cant find it but were both off slightly he said he could get one dead on but it would make the other way off so he got them as close as possible. the reason why i am worried is i am due up for some new tires and really dont want to spend 1300bucks if there gunna wear quick if there is a way i can fix this before i purchase.
Granted the car weighs less, but on my auto-x/street driving car I ran 2 degrees of negative camber in the front and 1.3 degrees of negative camber in the rear with 0 toe on both axles. How did my tires wear? Absolutely normally.
yah im running about 1.2 in the front on mine (camber bolts maxed out) and my tires are just fine.

well to me it looks like the toe is out but he said camber but im no mechanic at all so im trying to find some answers before i take it and try another shop. i thought the camber bolts that are on this procomp crossmember were adjustable is there different ones to get more adjustment im trying to remember the exact number it was if im not mistaken like -.17degree i might go down and see if they have the results still in the computer so i can give you guys a exact number. but when looking at the truck head on to me it looks like i can get one tire straight forward and tire looks perfect but the other looks slightly turned out my girlfriend doesnt notice it but i wanna say its there lol
If your camber is .17 degrees negative, I don't think you will have any issues. My Pro Comp lifted F150 is about .15 degrees negative, and I had no wear issues with my tires due to it.
i have an 05 with a 6inch procomp stage 1 with dirtlogics cranked 2 inches , and 4 wheel parts had to give me new spindles bc my tires rode on the insides , destroyed my extreme at's in 15,000, so they warantied everything .i got my toyos so cheap this way so i went for the 37s and body lift, but my truck could not be alighned anywhere i went

ya the guy said they might just wear to where it will really not be noticable so im guessing ill try it out . backwoodsboy ya it seems we have similar issues did they say anything about if you cranked down/up your dirt logics if that would help? where could i find a tool to adjust mine? thank you guys this site has always helped me with my issues i appreciate it merry xmas.
