So, I am on 265/65 compos... and I have an IID tool, but I have not touched the air suspension with the tool yet at all. When you added the 1" lift.. how much does that throw off your camber? I know when I just have it in normal off road height I get some serious positive camber.
Hi mbw - it's an interesting question that
So.. are your wheels off camber enough to wear the tires un evenly? This is the whole thing for me on running around with a lift (or lowered) ... you mess with the camber. Do people just ignore that and hope for the best or are people actually getting alignments and changing where they are in spec?
Hi MBW - good question and one I can't fully answer yet.
I haven't noticed any pulling left or right, in fact with these tyres the vehicle drives straighter than it did with the stock 20's (if I took my hands off the wheel before it would slowly pull left).
That said, with camber I can't tell from just looking at the wheels or from the feel either. I'm tempted to get it aligned at it's current lifted height (which is basically an inch higher than stock) - I had initially figured that the vehicle would keep the alignment whether it was normal height or off-road height and therefore my lift (which is probably somewhere in between the two) would also be within limits. If you're saying that being in off-road height throws out your camber then that makes me want to go and get it checked.
Certainly handling feels good but having only put a handful miles on the tyres I can't yet tell if wear is even. I'll find a flat surface and try to measure camber in the first instance.
cheers
