I need help, I just finished the front springs on my 2.5 Tuff Country lift. When I put the wheels on the camber is wayyyyyyyyyyyy off. I know the axle pivot bracket has a cam style adjuster but they are all the way down. Is this normal?? Or is something wrong. Im afraid the alignment shop wont be able to do anything with it. Any suggestions would be great. By the way this is a 250 with twin I-beams. Help me please. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Have you driven it yet? If not,take it for a short ride and see if it straightens out any. I know when I did mine it didnt look like I would be able to align it but after a few miles everything sorta fell in place and then I was able to make the final adjustments. Raising the front back up will also affect the toe so that will also make it look worse.
The camber was maxed out for correction due to all the sag. now that you have fixed the problem you need to get it back to normal specs. I would drive it to see if the springs settle in. Also make sure you take it to an alignment shop that knows the ifs setup. You can get the alignment close to factory specs but you will need new camber bushings. Make sure that the leaf spring bushings and the drop center pivot bushings have been replaced otherwise you will still have alignment issues. PM me if you need some more info.

Thanks for the information guys. I did a little research on the archives last night. Seems Im not the only one with this problem. I have driven it for a short trip. I'll get it out for a few more miles. I did replace all the bushing and adjusted the toe. I have an excellent alignment shop, they should be able to get it right. I love the new ride height it looks like a 4x again.
