Ryan1 and I just finished my coil spring spacer install today.
The front wheels are like this: \ /...There's an alignment shop I just found less than 1 mile away from me. DO I DARE drive it up there?
Or should I go thru all the hassle of getting the trailer hooked up and trailer it up there? If I keep it under 30 MPH I would think I'd be ok. I wouldn't think the tires would get screwed up going less than a mile?

Opinions, please!
Thanks
Jim
ps: gonna get it up there tomorrow AM one way or another!

Drive it. I drove mine almost 30 miles after my lift.
 






my camber is adjusted to max specifications, and it is still horrible.... my caster is almost dead on, but it does have a pull to the right still, the toe is perfectly in spec, but i have 1.2 degrees of negative camber on each side.... and this is my dailydriver..... i am hoping to put spacers on the front soon, as lifting a ttb ford usally makes a positive camber situation, hopefull,i t will make my alignment adjustable again......
 






Jim (JamminG4), on that short of a trip, I wouldn't worry about it.

Jim (abena), why is your camber so off?

Drive it...It takes hundreds of miles to show wear on tires that are off camber.....
 






Thank to all you that posted!

I drove it up to the Car-X shop without any trouble, and had the alignment done in an hour!

Good thing i alrady had the adjustable camber bushing thingy's already installed when I did the original lift!

Thanks again!

Jim
