4.5'' front drop and some tire rubbing issues.
My 87' has 2.5'' spindles and 2'' coils up front. I installed this kit last year and haven't drove the truck much since the drop, I was away for Air Force related training.
At that time, I had the front end aligned, the shop used lots of shims. Truck drives straight and all, but I notice the driver side has a tad more positive camber than the passenger side. In fact, this causes some rubbing on the driver side, on the very outer edge of the tire when hitting big bumps. I believe it's hitting the fender lip. I didn't immediately go back to the shop since I figured maybe the coils had to settle down, but that wasn't the issue. It's definitely alignment related. Also, the extra positive camber makes the driver side not look as low as the passenger side, has about 3/4'' difference. The front tires are 235/60/15. The passenger side has no issues. Think I can remove one shim at a time on the driver side, by myself, until I'm even? Or, think I should have the shop do this?
