Rearend Alignment
My rear end is off a little after installing 6" Hotckis springs. I have a ECE track bar. Its off about 3/8". Would you guys recommend adjusting it or just drive it down to alignment shop?
Driver side.  Passenger side.  Thanks |

Re: Rearend Alignment
If your track bar is adjustable, just go for it. Make sure your truck is weighted at ride height, and then measure just like you did before.

Re: Rearend Alignment
 That is what an adjustable bar is for. I used a come along to pull mine into the right position, put the threads where I needed them, and popped it into place. Easy-peasy.

Re: Rearend Alignment
LOL, when I read the title it reminded me of when I was young. the rear tires were always bald from burning out and dad wanted to know why. I said the rear end needed alignment...

Re: Rearend Alignment
I would make sure your bed is on straight. Measure the gap between the cab and the bed on the left and right corners to make sure the gap is the same. My bed was cocked causing my measurements to be off.
