Lifting and Alignment
Hi, I have recently bought a 4" suspension lift kit used. It came with springs for the front, 4 shocks, pitman arm, extended radius arms, blocks for the rear, and extended brake lines. I am going to be putting it in real soon and wondered about my alignment. I heard that when you lift ur vehicle u cannot align it to the stock specs. Is this true? If it is, does anyone know where u can aquire the new lifted specs? Also, is there any kind of way to get a hold of a lift kit instruction manual. I believe my lift is Procomp and i know i can figure it out, but it wouldn't hurt if the instructions were easy to obtain. Thanks in advance.

I got a 1994 ford f150. I work in a mechanic shop with an alignment machine, but all we have is the stock specs. So i don't know if i align it with the stock specs it would throw everything way off. it has the option to plug in ur own specs that is why i was wondering if there was some different specs for lifted trucks.

The specs should be the same whether you are lifted or not. The lift kit just makes it harder to get and stay aligned. The manual you should be able to get from procomp's website or maybe one of the local 4x4 shops will take pity on you.
