I installed a flip kit about 3 weeks ago and just noticed that the axle is offset to the passenger side of the truck by half of an inch.... The truck has been lowered for 3 1/2 years and i just recently lowered it more. Is this a problem with anyone else? lifted or lowered?

 

Hey man I took my truck in for an alignment and they said my geometric driving axis was off. I have the same problem my is like a half degree off. They aligned the truck, but didn't act like it was too big a deal.

 

04xlt - thanks for the info.....


Anyone else?

 

yup just put the flip kit on mine ,took it back cause of my axle being about an inch toward the pasenger side,they said theres no way to adjust it,djm kits hook in the pins.hopefully ok,but i dont like it,lol

I think I am going to roll the lip. It rubs but only on 1/16" of the lip.

 

yea when i get new rims i will prob have to do that!wonder if it happens to all of us?

 

What wheels are you getting?

 

by the way,just checked out ur pics,what size rims and tires you got on it?
Truck is SWEET!

 

Mine is off a little bit. I havent measured it, but I noticed it. Mine has long travel though.

 

My sig is the most recent. But the pics is when the truck had a 3/6 drop with weld 22" and 285/35/22. I had to get new wheels because the weld wheels had the wrong offset. Now it is 5.5/8 with h.d. 22" and the same tire.

 

Not a big problem for you I bet!!!!

 

oh yea like it,i want to go that low but prob have to do airbags,but thats in the future....

 

no sir! It kinda looks weird when I was driving behind it though. Kinda like the truck is turned a little while driving straight. Idk how to explain it really, but I noticed more trucks than mine do it. I think its the lift blocks fault on my truck, but idk really. If it isnt broke then idc

 

All static drop!!!! Just get some good struts up front and put a 2" drop spring in and cut another 3/4"- 1" off the tie rod, an add some threads to the rod and you are good!!!

I know it isn't a big deal, untill I get some weight in the back and it eats at my tire

 

Aw no bueno, mine has too much travel for it to bottom out like that. Roll them suckers
