Alignment problem w/ 2.5" lift
All,
I had the HBS 2.5" spacers installed 3 weeks ago. I took the truck to my local 4Wheelparts to get an alignment. After the alignment, the truck was still pulling to the right, a lot. I took it back today, and they agreed. I spoke with the tech, and he said that everything was correct according to the computer specs (taking into account the 2.5" lift). He did make a modification and it is much better, but still not 100% there.
Also, he said that one of the tie roads was shot, and he replaced it for free with a new take-off from an '08 Ram that they put new suspension on. My truck has 28k miles, so I was very surprised to hear about the tie rod.
I am still running the OEM Wrangler HPs (oh how I hate them), and I'm going to have them rotated, just to see if that makes any difference.
Does anyone have the specs from their alignments running stock-size tires and a 2.5" lift?
Also, I just want to say that 4wheelparts have been great in trying to resolve the issue, and haven't fought me on anything at this point.
