skyjacker lift coils

 

so thats why you wanted to know to remove your coils... what size lift coils are those?

 

cool

 

looks like 4"?

 

1.5 inch

 

i hope you ordered adjustable camber bushings too as your going to need them or your tires are gonna go \-----/

 

no i didnt order a camber. will the alignment be off bad enough to where i cant drive it cause i could take it to leschwab to get it aligned

 

even if you take it to get alligned they wont be able to do it. any time you mess with our suspensions (up or down) youll need to get eccectrics. our trucks come with non adjustable camber bolts. sure you can drive it, but its going to **** your tires up reallll fast. i drove with -4.5 degrees of camber for like two weeks and my tires are fubard on the inner lip. so much so that when i had them rotated last, the dude at the shop asked me if my truck was bagged lol


when i cut my coils my wheels went like this





the brass part is what im talking about

 

where is a good place to get them

 

napa. give me a few to look up the part number

 

ok cool

 

dammit i cant find the part #

just go into napa and ask them for the +/- 4.0 degree adjustable camber eccentrics for a ford explorer (theyre the same thing)

and if they tell you they dont have any, BS check again lol

 

are they pretty easy to install and are they fairly inexpensive

 

youll need a pickle fork (you can rent them at autozone for 11$)
basically, take your wheel off, loosen the jambnut on the side of the beam, place picklefork between balljoint, pop original camber bolt out.

set the eccentric to N (being 0). the driver side eccentric arrow will face to the back of the cab, and the pass side arrow will face the front of your truck. they should come with instructions (mine did). place it in the hole, hit it with a deadblow hammer a couple times untill it seats. retighten jambnut, replace wheel, take it to the shop to get alligned

as to price, my dad worked for napa for 25 years so he got them at cost (25$ each) but youll likely have to pay closer to 50$ for each one

 

damn that sucks wish there was a cheaper/easier way. i need to get new front shocks too

 

camber is the bane of our TTB suspensions sadly

you go up it goes \----/

you go down and they go /----\


theyre really not that hard to install. if you can do brakes you can install them. just a bit pricey

 

damn that pisses me off haha. i might have to get that and shocks later

 

well i wouldnt suggest installing those lift coils untill you get the eccentrics unless you want to chew up the inside of your tires

 

ok well sounds good and thanks. sounds like im going to napa tomorrow haha and i should be getting paid so that will help

 

since im only lifting the front 1.5 inches couldnt i get lower degree camber like +/- 2.25 or something

 

sure you could, but i think they all cost the same lol

 

i looked on napa online and the others are all cheaper than the 4 degree but they dont say they can be set to 0

by 0 i mean nuetral, wich will leave your wheels at the same place they were before you installed them. the allignment techs will then adjust them accordingly to put your allignment back to factory specs

 

yea i got that but i thought maybe you had to do that but did you see the link and the price differences

 

i got the higest adjustable ones just incase

well. you install the coils, take it to a shop and have them do an allignment check(usually free) and look at the specs of how far off your camber is and buy the according eccentrics
