coil spring spacer installation gone wrong

[chrisc-54]

hey, i bought a 2 inch coil spring spacer by daystar, and lift shackles 1.25 for the back, i installed them and now my 2 front wheels are pointing outwards, anyone know what could have happened?

you have to get an alignment

well to get things started what are you running for Suspension right now (any lift etc)

had to hesitate a guess now i'd say the 2 inch spacers are too much lift

a pic would be helpfull too to see how bad the camber problem is right now too.

I dont have much of a lift at all it is just a 2 inch coil spring spoacer set in the front and lift shackles in the back so round 2 inches

2" lift will require an alignment. The f-150 spring seat which is < 2" would also need an alignment.

Now that you have the front end up, the Camber is going to be off AND I "think" the toe will change too since the angle of the Tie rods changed which effectively makes them a different length.

If your lucky, it will still be align-able. 2" with no brackets is "iffy".. some vehicles can get aligned, others can't. The f-150 spring seats as far as I know can always be aligned.
