Daystar's threw off camber, Help!
New to the forum deal but I have a 97 f150 xl swb and just installed a set of Daystar 2" coil spacers to level my front end and it threw off my camber by what looks like about 3 to 5 degrees, I know Ford screwd up on these trucks by basically making the UCA unadjustable so should I get 3.5 lift spindles or go with extended UCAs? I know I'll need new shocks too they're maxed out and when i hit the other side of railroad tracks faster than 15 it's like hitting a brick wall. Any opinions on what i can do would be appriceated and maybe brands so i can look up prices and what not. Thanks guys

Don't know but when I got my daystar level I had to get a caster camber kit from NAPA to get it back to where it was.
|
Okay cool. Was it just the new cam bolts for the UCAs?
|
I honestly couldnt tell you man, my friend did the work. But it did let me get back to alignment. All I did was call Napa and tell them I needed a caster camber kit because of aftermarket parts and they got me what I needed. You might call around.
|
Thanks buddy
|
Some trucks need the bolts. My truck aligned right back up after installing 3" coils.
|
Good looking truck by the way!
|
I wish it always worked that way. Thank you though. I've never been a Ford guy but its a hell of a little truck. Was going to keep it stock, how I bought it a few weeks ago but now It's a new toy AND a work truck. Hah
|
You didn't really specify, Is this after an alignment?
|
any suspension change with the exception of lift spindles will throw off your camber. you're going to need those cam bolts that bolt on your upper A arm. napa has them for about $40. then get your alignment

Exactly what he said^.
