All Suspension Gurus Help!!!
Here it goes guys...
I lowered my 79 Stepper 6/7.5. When I first got it nothing about the suspension seemed off because it was stock height and as we know the lower you go the more things obvious get. Here are some specs. The rear has been lowered with a flip kit and shackels and a C notch was done with Nitro drop shocks. The front has 3in spindles and 3in springs. New ball joints, tie rod ends and adjusting sleeves. At first I went with a 5/5.5 drop which at that point it became obvious that my driver side front wheel sits further in and further back compared to my passenger front wheel. When I went down anoer inch in the front and 2 in the rear it is now obvious that something isnt right... My driver side wheel sits about 2 inches further in towards the engine and about an inch further back wtf is going on??? I though it must be my alignment but I took it to the shop and they did my alignment which didnt correct anything besides the truck driving straight now hehehe. I asked the gentleman at the shop what could cause my wheel to sit the way it does and he said it isnt my wheel its the cab/fender. He claimes everything shifted to the left/driver side whch I hardly believe. Anybody had a similar problem...before I start tearing into it I need some suggestions/ideas. Driver side sits inward and back...camber is ok according to the shop and by eye you can tell its ok. Passenger side sits the way its supposed to sit. Even when you look at it from the front you can tell that the driver side is more in...also of course because of this problem the truck sits lower on the driver side. Thx in advance to all that chime in. |
