alignment

Anyone lowered their 1989 gmc 3500 dually and have any specs on it ???
Had mine done and they went by original height specs , something in the handling doesn't seem right , feels like it's skating a bit .
I didn't lower it so I don't know how much
Here's a picture maybe you can tell by it

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: alignment

Took it back for another look at things did a couple things on it and still is the same , we figure it's the steering box , with 355000 on it it very well could be worn out , I will try a new one
Thanks for your replies

When you say specs, are you talking about alignment or the parts used?

My 1988 lowered 6/9, and drives awesome considering the drop.
(We did set the camber at -1 to keep tires from rubbing fender)

Stupid assumption, do the wheels have the metal plates
between the rim and the lugs to help center the nuts?
