Hey all,

I have a TF2.5BB and will soon be getting 35's.

Is there a specific setting I should tell the alignment shop when I bring it in?

I know that WOL says caster should be +6-7 deg and toe-in 1/8"...anything else? What about camber and thrust angle?


Thanks!

 

I didn't think with a 2.5 inch you needed any alignment...

 

You don't; or shouldn't...

 

I don't think you will need an alignment either, aside form centering your wheel. I may be wrong, but unless you have purchased eccentric cam bolts, or adj. lower front arms, you won't be able to do anything with the caster anyway. And I may be wrong on this too, but I don't think you can adjust the camber either.

 

None needed but if do, stock specs work fine. I would suggest ditching the stock steering stabilizer.

 

Thanks everyone!

Does TF have a steering stabilizer for your 2.5 lifT??

 

You can use the TJ one, but you will need to find a bushing sleeve for it. They have one large and one small for the TJ's, JK's need 2 large sleeves. TeraFlex is in the process of updating the steering stabilizer kits to work on everything.

 

I'm patiently waiting

 

As a rule of thumb, larger tires and wheels require more toe in order to acheive the same wear pattern as the stock tires. This is not necessarily true of you only go up one or two sizes. Going to 35s, I would certainly think about adding 1/8" of toe, then re-check tire wear in about 1,000 miles. When you vary from factory specs, it's always a game of touch and go until you find just the right setting. Since camber is not adjustable, and since the axle is soild, camber doesn't really enter the picture unlsee something is bent. With a controla arm type suspension, camber changes with ride height, so more height=less camber. With a solid axle though, this isn't true. When camber becomes out of spec, look for something bent.
