Alignment issues?

Anyone with a 5 or 5.5 drop in the front have any alignment issues. I talked to ECE and they said you can't align these trucks with more than a 4.5 drop. Just curious before I order all my parts. Thanks.

Re: Alignment issues?

If you do 4.5 inch spring drop only then you wont be able to align it. A combination of spring and spindle drop and you will be fine.

Re: Alignment issues?

Ok that's what i thought. Maybe I was not clear when I spoke with them. I plan on a 2.5 spindle and 3" spring. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Alignment issues?

It will align just fine as long as the rest of your suspension is good and not sloppy.
