Passenger tire rubs but not driver?

[SkyHighColorado]

it is super easy. I havnt done it on a 2wd but I guess its the same. the cam bolts have a big thick washer on each end and as you turn the bolt the washer will cause the control arm to either go in or out for negative or positive camber.

Can you get a pick of em and explain to me what to do? Im teying to find it online but all i see is stuff for cars and kits. Do i have to buy a special tool or is it something you just tighten and loosen with a regular wrench or socket?

I would take it to a shop to get aligned. Actually, I'm surprised the shop that lowered it, didn't do that. I've never had a truck lowered, so maybe that's not something they do, but I always thought that kind of thing changed the suspension geometry enough that it was necessary.

If it's been lowered... Needs an alignment. Always

Since you're in LA there's probably a million places to go for an alignment on a lowered truck, but just in case...fair warning...just about every where else it's not always so easy. There are knock-outs in the upper control arm mounts that will need to be removed if they haven't before. An alignment in my shop is $89, adding the labor for the knock-outs and the pain in the neck factor for a lowered truck and I would be adding an hour of labor at least so it could be a $189 alignment, that's IF I wanted to take the job because frankly we would rather do bread and butter work without having do deal with lowered/modded cars and trucks. You might experience that, don't be upset it's just business. I tip my techs $60 cash to align my own lowered trucks (about 2 hours pay) if that tells you anything even though they would do it for free for me. Just a few thoughts in case you have a hard time at the shop.

BTW, truck looks killer!

This ^^^ !!!
Are the fender lips rolled?
And while the tech is under there, ask him if he could check your pinion angle. Has nothing to do with the front end, but may as well, seeing that he's already under there! That 2" drop on the shackles MIGHT have messed with that.

And yea, truck looks Killer! Got one truck @ 2/4, another @ 4/7. That 5/8 looks so right, I should drop both of mine to that!

Uh-oh. The 'never-2-lo' disease strikes again! Gonna go back and stare at your truck for a while now!

Alignment and pinion angle....... aren't these things the shop that lowered the truck should take care-of/look-at? If I paid a shop to lower my truck, I'd have the expectation that it was good to go, not take it someplace else to get problems fixed that the lowering created.

I agree. When my old mustang. went to a shop for a lowering kit they test drove it and got everything set up perfect. They played around with the caster/camber plates for a while and it handled amazing for a stang.
