like you did, lots of pb blaster! lol im sure you found out before but the coil nuts are 1 1/8". With the alignment after id be carefull, ive heard of people getting away with using a tape measure and being very carefull but if its gona be a dd id do what you can at home nd then bring it to a shop that knows a bit about TTB

lookin good. Thats some really serious camber! I dont honestly think big degree alignment cams are gonna bring the tires back to spec. I used to run leveling coils and i installed Ranger STX highrider brackets and the camber was close to spec with little tweaking on the alignment cams. Goodluck.

I had that same setup and still had camber with 2.5 deg. cams. Wasn't too bad, I actually got really good tread wear! I just put in STX brackets and got back into spec.

looking good what kind of shocks did you get

 

[whitebassbenny]

rough county coils with skyjacker shocks.

coils were $144 and shocks were 79 both shipped.

have you taken it offroad yet, how do those shocks ride on the street

 

[whitebassbenny]

I have not taken it offroad yet. I have got it alig but the camber is still off and the tect said i needed the drop brackets for it. When i drive it next ill take the bumppy way home and see how it does. but i like it how it is now. the coils have seated so ill try to get a pic.
