My f150 is layin on the ground with 20's the problem is it is eating the inside of the drives tire. The tires are pretty flat not alot of camber. also the more you rise it up the more it wants to pull the the left side of the road. and drives really bad. it has stock arms with a droped spindel. Im going to flip the tie rods tomorrow. i was reading about raising the top are 2" how do you do that? where do you raise the front or back of the arm? any info would be great, new with the whole air bagged truck stuff. what would be some good stuff to check on the front end. and if you raise the truck up the wheels turn

well to answer a few of ur questions bro, u raise the upper arms by simply just rasing the upper arm mounts. also...u can get ur alignment checked on the front of the truck. and check and see if ur tie rods are bent from hitting the frame when ur truck is layd out, unless its notched. wish i can go into more detail but i have to jett

so where is some info on raising the aarms? do i just make some new mounts for the frame and raise it up 2"

Cut the upper mounts off. Weld 2 inch spacers under them, and then weld them back on top of the frame. These are on a Dodge but same concept. I raised mine 5 inches from stock. If you only need 2 then raised them 2. About the tire wear, go get it aligned. Find someone who will give you a lifetime alignment on it. then you can get it aligned as much as you want. Then drive it were it is aligned at which will be your ride height.

I was looking at my spindels and i cant just flip the tie rods. The hole the tie rods go in are not as big on the bottom as the top so what do i do there? If i raise the top arm 2" do i still get as much lift? Also my spindle is touching my bag. I need some help so i dont wear my new tires out and so it drives good.
