yeah, mine settled from +2in to +1.5in in the rear.Touchdown wrote:OK I guess it solved itself!
Took a long road trip for the holiday packed full of the family's stuff.
And somewhere along the way, they settled down.
The rear is actually now a bit lower then the front.
(Which will be fixed when i get rid of the spacer and put in adjustable shocks)
I had the same issue... With the same panic and issues of what else needed replacing to correct the issue. You can read about it and my panic & fix here:Touchdown wrote:I had the PRG 2" spacers F and R in the truck and even with the rear alignment maxed out it was always towed in a little. \----/
To solve the problem I purchased the 4x4parts.com HD springs. These should give my pathy a 2" (or so) lift. But the same problem exists.
Do they make longer lower control arms or something?
I could sure use some advice to this tire-eating problem!!
Yep, mine weren't maxed either.. although the big box shop said they were. When we did it manually, we lifted each wheel a little, made adjustment, then lowered wheel to check. I think the laser rig might have had an issue with resistance on adjustment bolts and arm movement. Those had not been adjusted since the production line. The laser setup kept weight on all 4 tires with floating supports. Getting the wheel up while making the adjustment may have allowed the arm to move more freely. Once we got a wheel up, we cranked the adjustment bolt to max & min several times to free it up before making first adjustment. You can easily see the geometry change when the wheel is up.akley88 wrote:i didnt have this issue with my lift. the rear camber bolts were all that was needed and they arent maxed. guess i got lucky.
someone had posted that one set of springs were two tall and stiff and cause lift that was beyond adjustmentBigEz wrote:Yep, mine weren't maxed either.. although the big box shop said they were.

But... I just noticed Touchdown lists both the 2"spacer and HD spring. I thought those springs were just stiffer. But if they are taller too, then his lift might be closer to 4", which may Max out adjustment?
I agree. I like the drivetrain, but feel the overall suspension requires more tuning and tweaking than others brands. I think part of that comes from the lack of suspension mods available aftermarket ... as compared to Toy or Jeep.Touchdown wrote: ....I'm having to readdress this issue again as I'm messing with new adjustable shocks and UCA's in the front and added weight from a custom bumper in the back. Can I just say I hate our suspension and all the tweaks twerks and twists that go with it!!
