[IMG][/IMG]I installed my lift last week and am very happy, going for alignment tommorow and hopefully order wheels by the weekend. While looking at it i seem to notice that the rear axle is centered in the wheel well, slightly forward. Is this normal with a 3" lift? How can i check it? What needs to be done to correct this if indeed it it offcenter? Obviously new arms, but what, top, lower, or both, will fix this problem. Is it alright to get new rears w/o getting new fronts, or is that that cool

Adjustable control arms are the way to go to fix this, I would get both uppers and lowers in the rear. You wouldnt need to get fronts too for now, but they are always a good upgrade later.

Just keep in mind that as your suspension compresses your axle will move rearward...

With bigger tires its going to get worse as far as hitting the rocker guards goes.
