[Chicano_Z71]

Need help with angles on my truck. Im a noob to this, having trouble with UCA and shock hitting. I bought the truck with a crank and i forgot to ask original owner how much was cranked to. Anyway he gave me some tuff country shocks needless pita to put in and this happened.

T looks like too much crank. I cant remember what causes the shocks to rub like that I have seen it before. My guess is its cranked too high and you will destroy the front end in no time. I know from experience. Probably looks great but you will pay later

There is a block in the key that the bolt threads into and turns the key more and more the tighter you turn the bolt. You can safely de-crank the keys with an 18mm deep socket If I remember right. Just make sure you do not decrank past the point of the end of the threads on the bolt going into the block. They sell a special tool for removing the bolt all the way which holds the key in place and prevents any injuries.
