Camber question

[scalrngr]

Will a 2.5 degree camber kit allign back at 0 deg.? I have a 2.5" coil lift and I'm installing STX high rider pivot brackets and want to know if I will need to go back to 0 deg.

I do have a little positive camber with this set up. Thanks for the help.

No way to know without knowing what your current alignment specs are, and what size bushings (and their position) you have in there now.

With 2.5" lift and STX brackets (1.5"), I don't think you'd need bushings quite that big, although every truck varies, due to weight, bodystyle, engine, etc.

I'd get the 2-piece fully-adjustable ones, then you can dial it in to whatever size you need.

I have a 2.5 deg. in right now. Its maxed out and I still have a little positive camber, maybe about .5 deg.

I'm hoping that I don't have to change it back out when I install the brackets.

Never heard of the two piece, have seen 0-4 deg.. Are they one in the same?Where would I find em?

You're +.5° now with the stock (not STX) brackets? That's actually not bad really, it probably changes .25° with the weight of an average adult in the driver's seat.

It will definitely go back negative with the brackets though.

2-piece bushings:
Ingalls #594
Specialty Products #24180
Moog #K8986
Spicer #6122025

(easy to spot via the "alphabet" scribed around them)


Napa sells at least one of those, rockauto.com I know has both the Moog and Spicers.
Companies like Superlift, Procomp and Skyjacker resell the Ingalls.

yea go for the adjustables. I bought mine from rockauto also, they worked to put mine into spec with 2.5"s of lift i got from the skyjacker springs. I intentionally ordered the 132xs even though i don't have an ext cab in hopes to get a true 2"s but i ended up with 2.5" lol but its been a few weeks now so i havent seen if it settled any.

 

[scalrngr]

Yeah, me too. The RC 1.5" coil lift is actually 2.5" and hasn't settled any in a year. I like the option of the two piece because I'm hopefully doing coilovers this year and will have to align it again. I'll see where I end up after the bracket install and alignment.
