You would need to know what's currently in there from the factory(stamped on the top of the bushing )and what you current alignment measurements are. Then have an idea of what you want camber/castor wise and get the correct degree sleeves. I like them with 0deg of camber and 4-4.5 deg of caster.


Edit: im not sure how I missed the leveling part, but the same still holds true. Although there are leveling sleeve kits. I feel like each truck is too different for them to work corectly and end up giving excessive camber even at lowest setting.

FWIW I installed a 1.5in level. I figured I would loose about .6 degrees of caster by doing so. Reading another thread, I ordered 2.3 and 2.6 degree shims and put them in. Now I have 4.2/4.8 degrees of caster. My truck is the 6.7 w/snow plow prep pkg.

Good luck.

I’m stuck between the readylift with the trac bar drop mount or the bds.Anybody with info on either kit I’d like to know how you like it.

I did the readylift coils and ordered the bushings that were recommended by others on the internet and this site. Once it came time to align it the bushing I bought didn’t allow for enough caster. My mechanic told
me if I wanted it perfect he’d have to order different bushings. So he did and the specs are absolutely spot on for both sides. Now I’m out an extra $60 for bushings that didn’t work.

I have a set of new/never used Carli 2* bushings for 2017+ SDs - for correcting caster with 2-2.5" leveling kits. I bought them to install on my 2.5" leveled 2018 but replaced the truck before I could install them.

If someone needs them PM me your shipping info and they are yours.

Do you know which caster bushings your mechanic installed in your truck?

I was afraid of that question haha. I don’t. If it’s something I can get under the truck and find out I’d be willing to do so but I have no idea if would be possible.

You might be able to see it through the wheel well. It’s stamped on top. The nut might cover it though.

Well I wasn’t able to see the caster bushing but the the original that was recommended in one of the threads that didn’t offer enough caster is Moog K80154 that’ll give you a starting point I hope.
