The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

[thz71]

I've got a 95 k1500 with rough country 6 in lift, when I first had it put on I had a 2 in rake. I wanted it level so I cranked, had my passenger side maxed out and drivers side almost maxed out. Took it to get aligned and they couldn't get the passenger side aligned. The top of the tire was tilted in. So now I dropped it down to the 4 in and removed the aal. I hate it! Does anybody else have this problem getting it aligned after they cranked the TB with the rcx 6 in lift?

Take it somwhere else to have it aligned

I had a slight issue with my alignment (similar to what you describe), but the guy who did it told me to add some spacers between the forward attach point on the UCA drop brackets. I did and there were no more issues with the alignment.

Yea he said I would have to add some washers and put a longer bolt, I'm kinda nervous ab that. You think you could post a pic of how you did yours?

Here ya go. I didn't even need a longer bolt. I've still got three threads showing on the back side. If it was any less I'd be concerned about getting a longer bolt. There are only two of the thicker washers on each side and only at the front mounting point for the bracket. The pic is of the right side.

Hope it helps.

are those the washers that came with the kit? or did you put thicker ones on?

Two were extras from the kit and the other two I needed I just matched up at the parts store.

if you dont mind could you take a measurment between your frame and the bracket or do you know the thickness of the washers you got?
