I got a Belltech 2-4 drop kit with coils and SP shocks for my 95 f150. Got it aligned but my front wheels aren't looking straight as they should. It drives straight, not pulling to either side. I just don't like my wheels looking slightly slanted. Has anyone else experienced this problem b4?
Thanks in advance fam.✌
Did you get the adjustable caster/camber bushing's put in, it will lay in at top, some, got a front/head on pic?
No I didn't know I had to change them but the shop that did the alignment said it wouldn't make a difference if I change the cambers. Its mostly the passenger side.
Did you go to a shop with a hunter alignment machine? Did you get a print out of your alignment? If they're saying it's within spec and didn't give you a print out, I'd go to another shop and have it checked (preferably one with a hunter alignment machine). They are supposed to be in towards the top slightly.
So it definitely looks like you're camber bushing is out of whack. Like others have said definitely go to a place with a hunter alignment and get a printout. I know when I put new Springs on my truck they were the opposite, the top was out further than the bottom. If that makes any sense... LOL. To fix the camber issue, it's pretty simple. Unloosen the bolt that holds the bushing tight, and then get the appropriate wrench on the bushing and turn it one way or the other till the wheel is straight up and down. Though I would probably recommend going to the shop, being the liability issues LOL. Yours is definitely extreme, but you do want it to sit slightly like that.
Oh and on the DJM beams, I'm not positive, but being a 2-inch drop you might be able to just get away with adjusting your camber bushing. I know from Moog you can get one that will allow up to a 3 degree change. I do know that when guys drop these trucks way down you have to either get your high beams cut and re-welded or get different beams to compensate with the camber issue.
No first hand experience, just several years of reading about dropping a twin I-beam truck on this forum...
Any type of drop on the front other than with lowering I beams will result in some sort of lean. You can't beat the geometry of a single arc with short springs.
The pivot point is going to be same & it's like driving around with 2- 200lbs friends sitting on the hood.
