So ever sence i put my 35's on my 1500 my wheels have slowly been bending my knuckles in. I dont have any pics but looking at the front of my truck my wheels look like this - /-----\ I think its "camber" thats getting screwed up but i always get camber and caster screwed up.

Anyway i was wondering what you guys would suggest as to fix this problem. I was thinking about hooking a come-along to it and pulling until it is at a 90* again then welding gussetts in it. Any of you have any better ideas?

 

did you get an alignment afterwards? sounds like its the toe-in i believe, i may be wrong

 

i got an alignment done when i first got finshed putting my lift on. But theres no way to adjust the way it is bending unless i buy offset balljoints. So its either bend it back or do something better that someone on here comes up with.

 

get a picture.
what is the condition of your ball joints?
are you sure that the knuckles are actually bending?

 

The stock 1500 suspention is not designed for your lift and tire setup.

 

I agree with Sheriff and don't agree with Half

 

We'll see why it's doing that and what the fix is.Then I'll say I was wrong..........or right.

 

Im gonna hold you to it

 

from quite a few hours on pavementsucks clicking through the member rides pictures, a 5" lift and 35" tires seems to be the most common and a lot of those people still have the dana 44.
but its said by many that any more than that will put too much stress on the stock setup and start wearing the suspension out at an alarming rate.

 

Picture would help but there's no way the axle knuckles are bending. There's gotta be something else wrong. There's guys running bigger lifts and tires on the same axles and they said nothing about there axle knuckles bending, just destroying ball joints and hub bearings cause of the over sized tires.
