Adjustable links
Posted: Sun Jul 01, 2018 8:27 pm
I’m about to install a new lift to replace the setup I currently have. The kit features double adjustable uppers and single adjustable lowers. The 3” spring lift setup I currently have was aligned and adjusted by elias4x4 and has had zero issues. Easily aligned, no shimmy’s or weird driving characteristics. The new kit I’m installing is only 1/2” taller.
The rear axle is simple, adjust the new lowers to the same length as the old set. The new uppers set to the same length as the old, but adjust as necessary to correct new pinion angles.
The front is different though. The old setup is adjustable lowers, and factory non-adjustable uppers. When installing the new setup, how should I adjust the uppers? Do I set all the arms the same as the old setup, or do I correct the pinion angle? I don’t want to mess up the camber/caster and cause funky on road driving. Obviously I’ll get an alignment, I have lifetime at Sullivan’s, but they really only adjust for toe.
Suggestions?
