Tire Wear After 2 Inch Lift

You are correct the tie rods only adjust the toe in and out but the lower control arms has slots to adjust the camber. Did you get it aligned about a 100 miles or so after the lift? The lift will settle and cause it to get it out of alignment.

Yup it's pretty straight forward you must get an alignment after the lift. I bought firestones life time alignment so I can bring it in all I want they did a pretty good job.

Firestone would not touch my jeep due to much suspension mods but 4wheel parts did a great job for me.

Wow they did mine even with my spacers on but everyone had a modified jeep around here maybe that's why they would probably loose a ton of bussiness if they wouldn't touch a modified jeep. LOL

Maybe they were just jealous of my XK so they didnt want to work on it. LOL

Thanks for the quick responses guys,

So there is enough adjustment in the lower control arms after a 2-inch spacer lift? In other words, an alignment shop can get her lined up without the need for adjustable uppers?

You have a 50/50 chance. Some guys running 2 inch lifts have no problem getting their XK/WK aligned afterwards. And others have bad tire cupping like I did. But if you still get cupping order the Rocky Road Upper control arms. They are not adjustable, they are built for lifted XK's/WK's to get the alignment back in spec and give you a nice heavy duty control arm/replacable ball joint at the same time!
