right now,the tires are so close to the fender you'd be hard pressed to get a piece of paper between them. I've cranked the torsions up so much I think the truck is sitting a little higher in the front than the back just to give me enough clearance to drive it.

I went to go get an alignment a while ago when I had the ball joints flipped and a couple shops I went to wouldn't even touch it.

do it your self back yard style with a tape measure! you obviously fixed your camber issue so you just need to fix toe now right?

Hey crazymikey do you have any pictures of the drop spindles? Does the casting look the same on both of them? I just recieved a set and the casting around the caliper tabs is different.

Im pretty sure there both suppose to be the same casting, i think you might have 2 different spindles dude...

Whoo wants to help me put my spindles on!!!!! ive had mine for a while now and have no place to put em on i got z-71'a they'll clear right.... I hope so

you don't have a driveway or parking space? They're pretty easy to do,provided you can get all your ball joint bolts undone.

Doing my spindles was easy because I had flipped my balljoints in january and put new hardware in,but if yours haven't been touched for a while,count on breaking some bolts like I did.

Just went thru the same thing with the daughters truck (alignment) Can give you many different backyard methods to get the alignment VERY close. Most difficult part is the caster adjustment, but can be done. PM me if interested as I can't always remember which thread I commented on (it's an age thing )
