Re: Suspension help

So I'm getting ready to put my new wheels on.. The question is I'm going to trim the lower control arm. Am I just going jack the truck up put on the rim steer and see we're it hits and trim as needed? Does the suspension need the at normal ride height to steer and check or can it be hanging and check while jacked up no load.. Do I have to jack under the a-arm?

Re: Suspension help

Put the trucks weight on the a-arm to simulate ride height.
