My 07 had the rear camber bolts installed already so they didn't have any problems back there.

You can order off-set bushings for the lower control arms for additional adjustment to the caster/camber.

Thank you. Now it makes a little more sense as to what they were talking about. If I notice un even tire wear then ill order them. I don't have the printout otherwise id post it. There printer wasn't working and the picture I took came out way to fuzzy to make it out so I deleted it.

Sounds good keep us updated on the alignment.

The alignment is within spec.. but was a hassle for them to get it right.

Here's a tip for all you do it yourselfers....

A little tip when you get to the rear suspension and you're replacing the spring, loosen up the bolt on the pivot side of the arm. The bushings can only stretch so far. I think I overextended mine and the bushings tore when I did my rear springs.

^ I think i may have overstretched or ripped the bushing. When i go over speed bumps or anything similiar it sounds like a bushing is squeaking. Its either that or the rancho spacer. I have 10psi in the bags so i know there not moving around.

Did you lube your bags? Mine will squeak like crazy if I dont squirt them every 6000mi./tire rotation.

I sprayed them down with white lithieum (sp?) grease. It seemed to quiet them down a little bit.wast sure what else to spray them with.

Has anyone installed the off-set bushing kits yet?

Has anyone tried to use the OME rear springs and the rancho rear spring spacers? Would that even work to achieve more lift then lets say the 2.5in the OME springs give you from the rear of the truck. And lets say use an 2" leveling spacer on the front. SO that leveling spacer would sit on top of my rancho quicklift front shocks. is that possible or am i not thinking straight..

You would never get the alignment back into specs. The alignment is pushed to the max with just 2" of lift.

I kinda figured that but thought i would ask anyway. So the only real shot at a bigger lift is the calmini 5" lift kit then. Which I don't want to spend the coin on at this moment.

EDIT: You don't think with the offset bushing kit up front that it wont get back into proper alignment?

Is that because of the IRS? I've never had an IFS/IRS vehicle before so lifing them is new to me.
