See, nice guy.

Glad you and family are safe Sam....
;)

Some times I wish I wasn't such a nice guy. There's some real pieces of sh*t trolling my neighborhood scamming the f**k outta people. I'm about ready to bust but, its bad enough right now and I cant afford to pay the consequences for doing something stupid.

Thanks Pete, I appreciate that. We're happy to be home :)

It's been a while since I updated anything. Really haven't done much since raising the front and getting it re-aligned.
Saw an old friend today, pulled over and chatted for a bit and he looked down at my front tires and said "you're going to need some tires soon"
Now, it looks like I'm going to need new front tires. I just don't get it. I never thought I'd have such alignment problems.
Looks like I'll be paying for another alignment AND two new tires, yay.

Has anyone else had alignment issues? Mainly them not holding spec?
Thanks

Have a great weekend everyone :)

Went out and got a shot of the tires. Talk about negative camber, pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

I didn’t go back through the thread but did you add a camber kit?

G-d I'm trying to remember what the heck I did.
I know when I installed my suspension, I did not have any camber kits installed. That was roughly 4/6
Then I adjusted my suspension (to lower it) and installed the adjustable cam bushing. That was closer to 5 or 5.5 up front.
Finally adjusted again (to lift it back up) and removed the arms w/the alignment bushings and put new arms back in. That time the alignment was in spec or very close to it. Ending back at roughly 4".

Looking at the way it sits right now. I need to bring the front up another inch for it to sit fairly level. Or, remove the rear set up and install coil overs to lower it down to level it out that way. But, this is not really a priority right now so once I get the front situated, I'm hoping I will be able to set it and forget it for a while. I'd like to focus on the body this spring/summer and fix the damage from the jackleg who hit a few weeks ago.
