I am having problems aligning after installing the correct springs for a 5.5 in lift ( part number 133). I just had new ball joints installed and I have had three different alignment specialist try and none can even come close. Does anyone have any suggestions or should i contact Superlift? I have been fighting this for months now. I would really appreciate any advice.

What is off? I just finished the front end of my Superunner 5.5" kit and the camber is way off...really positive. I think it should fix itself after the springs get broken in and sag a bit. Hopefully. I don't know what my caster is though. Let me know
 






if the vehicle is sitting still, the wheels look like they are perfectly aligned. When i accelerate the front end raises and the settings shift and it pulls all over the place. After i park it againg the wheels look completely tweaked. Noone knows what is wrong. The springs i had before (part # 118) we could get to align perfect they would just lose strength and begin to sag after about 2,000 miles. I am about ready to have a set of springs custom made to hold the weight and set at the right height. I have aligned it 9 times in 6 months now. I am sick of the headaches.
 






Wow, It sounds like your problems are worse than mine! Just be glad your axle isn't screwed up like mine though. Thats one thing to be happy about I guess.
 






Man, all these superlift problems...If ya only got sky jacker....Naw just playing with ya....my guess is that it's the alignment shops...I took my truck to a shop that has aligned for of our families cars...they couldn't get the my explorer straight. Then I took it to a shop here in Chicago where the guy claims, there has never been a truck he hasnt aligned...he was right...had about 2000 miles on it with my boggers and been offroading and I've jumped it and the only pull would be the wandering effect of the tires.....Pete
