A brief word on 2.5" Leveling Kits & CV Angles.

My opinion upper control arms and camber kit is the key… It made everything easily back in “spec”. At minimum for caster kit.

Thanks. I bought the Mountain Package with the upper control arms and the camber kit. They just didn't install the camber kit and thought the alignment shop would.

Geez why in the hell did they not install! My shop did not see the box them checking out he recommended lol. Said it was in the box. He checked sure enough he went to guys in back to install them realign. Then had it aligned again at ford and rolls great!

Take it back to the shop and have them install it. Then find a competent alignment shop. I’ve had very bad luck with Firestone but probably location dependent

@Bannerman could you share your measurement from hub to fender? I already have a fox level but I’m upgrading and pretty set on the halo setup. The problem is that I’ve adjusted my coilovers so many times that I’m not sure how much lift I have exactly but I’d like to know and compare at least to where I’d roughly end up if I switched to halo’s. Thanks in advance

Off hand without running out to measure, I think I am at 34 1/4 from bottom of wheel to fender, so I should be about 25 1/4" from hub to fender.

That was fast thanks

I’m either going to get that one above or the auto spring 2” kit.

Do they have to drill the pin hole for the lower camber kit?

I installed mine myself and didn’t have to do that.

Procomp 2.5" leveling kit almost 2yrs old. I'm at only 0.5" of rake now. No towing, just a bit aggressive on FS roads. I found this interesting, maybe some you all will too. (just put on 275/70 duratrac RTs last month)

So I have the eibach pro 2 R rear shocks on my tremor. I am thinking I want to go with the halo for the front. Any reason why I wouldn’t want to run the mismatched set? They seem very comparable.

Not expert at this at all, but I don't know that there'd be any reason not to be able to do that. Hopefully someone with more knowledge/experience can chime in.

I can't comment on how that exact setup would ride but ideally you want valving to be tuned so the front and rear compliment each other

There is definite value in having front and rear shocks that are paired. When they are mismatched you run into over/under steer.

That makes sense. Now I just need to figure out go with all eibach or switch to the halo kit.
