This is my…

4in Rough Country Suspension Lift
**Original build date on door (11/87)**

Her Name is Vegas.
So my driver side wheel is straight as an arrow but my passenger sidewheel is kicked out at the bottom and falls in at the top does anyone have tips or help also I’ve got new camber sprockets or bushings whatever ya call them lol, how hard are they to install???

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Congratulations on getting the truck. Difficulty of steering and suspension work depends on the level of rust and decay on the truck. It's not complicated , though. For starters, try reading through this article in our tech library. Before doing alignment, though, make sure ball joints and tie rod ends are in good condition. If they are worn and sloppy, any and all alignment efforts are futile.
