Alignment bolts

What is a good brand LCA alignment bolt . Moog, SPC, whiteline, mevotech ?

 

Factory was maxed out. So according to my alignment oem wont work. I need more adjustment than what it gives .

 

Maxed out how?

Do you have a lift?

You need a competent mechanic....

 

You talking about maxing out your caster and needing more adjustment? If so then you need aftermarket UCAs, most automatically give you an additional ~2˚ caster and then you have a lot more leeway with your lower cams to fine tune it

 

You're not going to get any additional adjustment from aftermarket alignment cams... just weaker alignment cams.

As stated by others. The OEM cam/bolts are by far better than aftermarket (even SPC).

Aftermarket UCAs are typically where you go to get those numbers in check if your alignment numbers are maxed.

 

I added a small level kit and the guy at the alignment shop said after alignment my cam bolts are maxed out. I need to get some with more adjustment. Then I added a 5inch suspension lift with more adjustment cam and upper adjustable control arms. Took it to a 4x4 shop that deals with lifts and they couldnt get in aligned. My caster and camber are wacked out. But the cam bolts I bought were cheap . So I need to replace with a little better quality.

 

5 inch lift?

Drop bracket?

 

Yes, tuff country .

 

Yes as I've previously mentioned I have new UCAs. They are total chaos.

 

So then I need to find someone who actually knows how to do an alignment? Cant get anymore adjustment from the LCAs? Just the stock +/- 1.5

 

Any pics? Did you have any issues before the lift? Excessive tire wear?

 

Another mechanic is where id start, unless said mechanic installed the lift itself. Then it may be improper installation.

 

Well I've tried two shops, first shop tried to adjust my lift bracket cause of the old cam bolt location. The other I dont think reallyknew how to work total chaos UCAs. But ive installed the lift myself. I do all work on my truck , except alignment cause I dont have the equipment.

 

are you 2wd/5-lug, 2wd/4wd 6-lug?

your other posts are for LCAs, did you replace that already?

 

I'm 4wd 6 lug. No I havent replaced them yet. I cant decide if I wanna put moog LCAs or not.

 

I believe this kit uses a spindle spacer that bolts to the knuckle

 

Drop bracket lifts are the only way you can really achieve over 3" of lift with an IFS 4x4 truck without severely compromising the CV axles and front drivetrain components. The front crossmember is cut out and new crossmember added in to lower the front drivetrain and keep it in it's stock position while the rest of the truck is lifted via suspension.

Of course a 2wd has other options for really tall lifts because they don't have to worry about the 4x4 parts

Downside to a drop bracket lift in a 4x4 is, because the 4x4 components are essentially sitting at stock height you don't really gain any 'clearance'...so if you go offroading you really have to keep that in mind.

 

I do not understand your question. But with big lifts they all come with extended knuckle . The lift I used is made to work with stock upper control arms but in reality dont because the stock had the kuncle sitting to far in basically resting on the coils when the suspension was hanging. So I added adjustable UCAs to fix that and add more adjustment.

 

No it does not. It gives a coil spacer that bolts to the coil overs. The spindles come new and extended with a lift.

 

So after doing some lookin . I currently can not get oem (from toyota) cam bolts , some of the pieces I need have been disconnected.
