I have recently added a 6 inch lift to my 98 dodge ram 1500. I took my truck in to get aligned and they did the best they could. my tires look like this
/ \ . any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated

 

So did they tell you that they set camber as far positive as it would go and it wasnt enough? What brand of lift is it?

 

they have it set as far positive as posible and i even grinded the holes out as far as possible. It was a cheap brand I got over the internet about a year and a half ago, just got around to install it.thinking i should've spent the extra money and got a name brand. any help would be greatfull

 

How did you do that on a 2 wheel drive? I am trying to imagine raising the front end 6 inches! I would have expected your tires to be like this: \ /. Ohhh I know, just tell them to swap the tires, they are on upside down!

 

how are your ball joints? it might not be th problem but if you have that much lift on the front end you might run into those issues in the long run. but when my ball joints went my tires did that. btw what kind of tires are you running?

 

tires are 33 x 12.5 x 15. dont know how to tell if ball joints r no good, they were brand new when i put the lift on

 

I think that the only way to fix your problem is with new upper or lower contol arms to fix your camber. Sorry to say, but you may have to buy a more expensive kit. Either that or lower it back down a couple inches. If you dont you will be wearing out tires and front end components like crazy.

 

hey guys what if I take off lower control arms and grinded the mounting holes inward to bring the bottom of the tires in? would that work and would that be safe? thanks

 

It may work, but it probably wont be safe. The more oval holes you make in your front end setup, the more possibility of having parts slide around and possibly break.

 

i think what you need is extended upper control arms that would kick the top of the tire out and in the right direction im a alingment tech at just tires i have done a few 2x4s thats the only way i can see to fix it is new upper control arms
