If you wanna go lower is pretty simple cut shit up lol my truck sits 7/8
And any lower than 5 is unalignable so you'll have camber

x2. After 5in in front your camber is done. Deal with it or drive with a crooked steering wheel

5" is the max the truck can be realigned at unless you make custom upper control arms that are adjustable or longer.

My truck is at 4.5" of front drop and the alignment shop said that's the max they can align it at.

Oh well.


Every truck is different. I've seen trucks get up to 6" of drop and still be alignable.

Were you running the adjustable +-4 degree camber eccentrics? Never heard of anybody getting realigned at a 6" suspension drop. Some people tend to factor in smaller tires into their drop numbers and not even think about it.

Well I can't remember the name, but a DSG truck was lowered to 7/7 and aligned pretty well...
