I Finally Have It, but

[Frodslhuz]

Hey guys, I have finally finished installing my James Duff 2.5 lift tonight . It looks great except for the fact that my wheels are sorta on the \ / side if ya know what I mean. My dad is going to fix the alignment tommorrow because the tires are like this \ / looking from the top. Anyway I don't know if they are soposed to have a little camber or not because it's not that bad. But anyways how do I adjust this or do I even need to? Thanks

You have to GET IT ALIGNED. Don't adjust until it looks ok, bring it to a shop.

it needs the camber/caster adjustment bushings.. they run about $30 for the pair.. and shop time should take no more than an hour to install, however, soem shops charge an hour per side... so shop around...

I just put in my lift too. It was the 2" aal and spacers. I had to buy the 2.75 degree camber/caster adjusters to compensate for the positive camber after the lift. I decided to put them in myself then give it a quick alignment so i could get it to the alignment shop. The stock adjusters were not enough to correct the camber so i had to replace. Chances are you may have to as well. But if you are unsure, let the alignment shop decide that.

Drive it around a little it should settle down, when I put my JD lift in I didn't have to do anything to my alignment,after I put in f150 spacers I had to do a little adjusting with the camber bushings and a toe set,which I do myself now.

There is a good tech write up on alignment tech for doing your own alignment.

I took it around the block today and it is all over the road which was excpected. But when I broght it back in the front yard for the first time since stock, the camber is like normal. I guess it does settle a bit after awhile, oh yea it is the shop right now for the alignment. It was $120 to wrap, balance the tires and the alignment.
