Pigeon toed

[cobycs]

So I put a set of coil spacers on my front springs and did everything it called for, but my tires pointed inwards now (pigeon toed) pretty bad.. How may a nice cool dude like me take care of that problem?

Thats called "toe", and you adjust the tie rods to get them to point straight ahead.

You also most likely have the Camber off now too, where the tires look like \ /. To fix that you need camber shims on the Ball Joints.

What he said. And an alignment shop will take care of all of that for you. Because you can't do it by eye.

Cool, I thought I read something about that, just wasn't sure... Thanks guys.. Now 1 more question, my rear leaf springs are under the axels, would a set of shackles be suffice to make up the difference to match the front? The front lifted about 2-3 inches.

 

[cybergasm]

Most commonly available shackles only lift the rear 1.5 inches give or take depending on the condition of the rear springs.

Unless you wanna get brave and run the Universal Shackle kits like they sell at AutoZone O'Reilly's etc. think those are good for 3 inches again depending on the springs like i stated above.

Thanks man.. guess I'll be brave and pay the 13.99 at autozone... It will give me the opportunity to test out my rollcage... LOL!!

warrior shackles and a short aal will bring it up 2.5 or 3 inches.

autozone shackles are indestructible!
