Bump Stops

[pbkid]

you just wanna turn that bolt on the far end...

just MAKE SURE you turn them the same amount of times, that way they dont get uneven...

your car should have at least 1 degree of rake towards the front...if not, you may have rear axle problems...

oh, and to give you point of reference, i cranked my bolts(a lot of people say bars but i think that is confusing because the bars dont turn much) 14 times to get about 2.5-3" of lift.... so if your looking to drop 1" in front i would crank them maybe 4 times??

also, make sure you crank them less times than expected, drive it around the block (over some bumps and turns) then re-measure...because they settle

If you were taking it to an Isuzu dealer for the alignment, you could explain the situation and they'd get the height all squared away before doing the alignment. If you were going to a generic alignment shop, I'd do my best to get the height back to normal on my own first. Is that shop going to care that the trim height is 4.69" before they do the alignment? If the front wheel bearings have never been repacked, I'd have that done by an Isuzu dealer also before aligning.

I've had mine aligned seven or eight times and the bearings repacked four times all by Isuzu dealers and it rolls down the road like it's on rails. I do plenty of tire rotations and have never seen the slightest bit of uneven tire wear.

I would think the shop might have a better chance than I would. I don't know what you mean by trim height, or how to set it to that. Is that something I could tell the shop? Is there anything else I should make sure they do? I will make an appointment and a trek over to the Isuzu dealer to repack bearings and what not at a later date.

Thanks
