leveling kit alignment issues

jm4490 -> leveling kit alignment issues (3/16/2007 6:04:48 PM)
Put my Readylift leving kit on thursday and drove it around looks and feels good, hard to feel any change in ride quality and the alignment still felt ok but i wanted to get it checked any way. So I went to the local Firestone service center and waited to get an alignment 1,2,3,hrs later the said "we can't get it right, it may be because we only have the 2006 h3 specs not 07 " I don't see how much it could have changed from 06 to 07 but I left and now it pull slightly to the right more so on the highway. but need to get it fixed or looked at again. anybody have any thoughts that might be able to help me?

take it to a 4wheel drive shop, or back to the dealership. tire store alignments are, shall we say, less than what you're paying for. . . . .[:'(]

super easy to install. I called readylift for new alignment specs but the said that does not change it only needs to be put back to factory specs.

do you think the dealer will give me a hard time due to making changes to the factory specs ?

I got the TruXXX 3 inch leveling kit and they supplied me with new alignment specs. Neither NTB not the Hummer dealer were able to make the alignment work when they did it at factory specs. The wheels resembled an upper case A. I gave them the alignment specs provided by TruXXX. When they used these specs it worked out perfectly. The dealer did use the fact that I installed aftermarket keys to charge me for the alignment. These are the specs provided for my kit they may work with yours as well. Ride height is 24.25" from the center of the front axle to the fender. Caster Left: 1.5 Caster Right: 2.0 Camber Left: 0 Camber Right: -1/4 Toe-in: -1/32 Hope this helps.

I really don't want to bring it to the dealer for this I don't need them giving me Sh%# about the warranty I may be late with this Info but here goes... Camber Left: -0.60 - 0.60 Right: -0.60 - 0.60 Caster Left: 1.80 - 3.80 Right: 2.10 - 4.10 Toe Left: -0.10 - 0.10 Right: -0.10 - 0.10 Cross Camber: -0.60 - 0.60 Cross Caster: -1.05 - 0.45 Total Toe: -0.20 - 0.20 I've taken my truck to a reputable alignment shop, and had them raise the front suspension by an inch. My truck now sits near level, having about 1/2 to 3/4 inch difference between the rear and front wheel well measurements (Front being lowest of course), and about 12 inches of ground clearance from the lower skid plate. I have to say I'm quite Happy with the ride, not as stiff as I would of thought, but It rides firm and suprisingly comfortable over road craters!!! These are the specs that they have It set at... Camber Left: 0.13 Right: -0.11 Caster Left: 3.27 Right: 3.88 Toe Right: -0.01 Left: 0.02 Cross Camber: 0.24 Cross Caster: -0.61 Total Toe: 0.01 Hope this helps ya JM!!!
