It aligned after the crash with no problems
I've got 4/6 on a 2016 4x4 rcsb, the alignment is close, but they couldn't get the caster within spec. Truck still drives grest, and I honestly can't tell that anything is off.

Also maxtrac told me my spring was a 1" spring. Definitely a 2" because along with spindles I'm at exactly 4" in the front.21c5f7d98d40ff3d3594d891832f5913.jpg

You sure you didn't get the 4/6 drop kit? Nice, so your camber is good and you didn't have use a add on camber kit? 

Also, what is caster and how does it affect your truck?

There was no kit lower than 2/4 for 4x4 trucks when I lowered mine, so I used mcgaughys spindles and what I was told was a 1" spring. I ended up at 4" up front and liked it.

Camber is how far forward or backwards the "hinge" that your wheels turn left or right leans....I hope that makes sense. And I'm not real sure what effect it has on handling.

Oh thanks for the clarification but I was referring to caster. How does that affect my drive ability?

Doh! I meant caster, not camber. And I've seen no negative effects on my truck so far.

labor on the rear reverse hanger install ,flip kit, shock install grind the bumpstop and air bag install for rear ,control arm replacement upfront ,tie rod trim and bushing install and alignment, then recalibrate all stabilitrac sensors and compass  . Other than that im not sure . i shopped it too lowest and best service i could find all prices were ball park the same but this kit is one of the best quality and best when it comes to alignment  , for those who know DJM this is like a 4x4 copycat version and the helper bags are a must to keep the towing functionality

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
