The adjustable UCA bushings will do the trick. You won't get it in spec without them. You will definitely be subject to premature wear on those tires if you drive it like that. I also doubt that the rear coils will settle much. I installed medium duty springs from 4x4 parts which gave me a full 2&qu...

You may get a lot of "advice " with that question but the best advice is what NVSteve said is that you should spend some time reviewing other posts on the subject. It seems folks have encountered different problems associated with what seems to be a straight forward project. I can agree th...

I just installed the adjustable rear UCA bushings and they are the ticket to solve your rear alignment problems. Got mine from Super Pro suspension products. $40 cheaper than what I found elsewhere.

Got the adjustable rear Upper Control Arm bushings installed and everything aligned great. Rides like a 4x4 should and I like knowing that the alignment is spot on. Thanks Rocky Top. Anyone going with a 2" or > lift on their Pathy should consider these as a prevention for the rear alignment iss...

Just wanted to update on the installation of the UCA rear adjustable bushings. These things are great. They allowed the rear camber to align within specs and now there's margin to go higher if I ever want to. If anyone is looking to lift their R51 then the first thing I would recommend is this $100 ...

Wanted to give an update on my progress. After having been told by my local dealership that the alignment was "close enough", I washed my hands and took my Pathy to a highly reputable Off Road shop for some real advice. Jason and the guys at Rocky Top Customz in Knoxville, TN admitted that...

I also have a '07 and have been fooling around with my rear alignment since installing a 2" lift. I initially went with the 4x4 HD springs but upon installation I could tell that there would be no way to get it aligned (it must have raised it 3"). I replaced the springs with Medium Duty mo...

After talking with 4x4Parts and comparing my reinstall configuration with other photos I discovered that the coil spring seats can be (and were) installed upside down resulting in an approximate 2" lift. Seems strange that the seat accommodates the spring in both orientations. I am taking it ba...

I re-used the stock strut springs with the new struts. I think I will take your advice and give a week. Most intel indicates it should settle and then I will do the alignment as suggested.
Thanks for the reply.

Bilstein HD Upgrade

First timer here and trying to familiarize myself with using the forum. I have been watching this site for a couple of years and commend all for sharing with each other. Just replaced shocks and struts on my '07 SE 4x4 with no problems. While the rear appears to have remained the same height, the fr...
