Doing a "Lift", in it's self, is new suspension components and can (does) change the geometry.

And Tires: Tires are often overlooked when the dam thing won't go strait.. down the road...... Bigger, Smaller, Wider, Narrower... tread design.... aggressive, non directional, M/S, A/T. Construction: number of ply's, type of ply's (nylon, rayon, steel) load range, rubber compounds (Brand specific), Radial, Bias, sip or no sip (sic?), balance method, and last but not least ?.. Tire Pressure(s) ?

ALL the above can, and does.. have an effect on Front End Alignment (geometry). And the often overlooked, Steering box pre-load.

A HINT ? If you don't wana tackle the Pre-load thing yerself (and it shouldn't be taken lightly).. Many Front End shops that specialize in Custom Suspensions might do it for you.

Does anybody have the actual step by step instructions on doing this? I'll look in my manual tonight also.

I found this last night. I figure between the one above and this one we should all be covered.
