Car Forum / Jeep / January 2004Alignment Specs
Good Morning Group, What specifications are used for front alignment with a 3" lift and 31 x 10.50 x 15s? Thanks Group!  SignatureDebbie & Norm Parsley XJ Couple 2000 Cherokee Classic Group, I neglected to add it is a 2000 XJ.

The factory alignment specs will do. With a solid front axle, there is only a toe adjustment anyway, but I generally prefer to have as much positive caster as possible, and camber near zero. Toe should be slightly positive, 1/16" total will do. Jerry > Good Morning Group, > > What specifications are used for front alignment with a 3" lift and 31 x > 10.50 x 15s? > > Thanks Group!

There is actually caster adjustment on solid axles. It is sometimes done by way of wedge type shims on the spring perch with leaf springs or an offset cam on the contol arm where coils are used. Lift kit is quite likely to throw caster out and caster is essential for good handling. Steve > The factory alignment specs will do.

Besides, it's a coil spring, not a leaf spring.
