alignment after 2.5" newton lift

[amb82]

Brought my truck to get an alignment after i installed a 2.5" newton lift and they told me the castor was off and they couldnt do anything about it. How do you fix this?

[Down2Ride]

You get the track bar spacers, brackets and all with the leveling kit? I have the 2" and all is good. Didnt have the spacers at first, but purchased them later(1 week).

Yeah i got track bar spacers. They told me to get it right I would have to drop the radius arms where it bolts to the frame 2.5" to set the castor properly. I do notice especially at higher speeds that the steering feels kind of squirrely

the track bar spacers wont do anything for the castor, There are differant pieces that can be put int he front axle at the knuckle, where the ball joint goes through. I cant remember what they are called. I never had mine done with a 2 inch lift but a couple of other friends have had there 08s done. A good alignment shop should be able to do it or maybe the dealer

I took it to the dealer for the alignment. They said they can usually fix it with some type of bushings but they didn't have any big enough to correct mine

yup you need alinement cams just like these.Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2005-2010 FSD Alignment Cam Kit - Front Suspension Alignment Cams - Truck Toyz Store

[amb82]

Are these alignment cams easy to put on yourself or would a shop have to install them?
