Installed LCA relocation brackets, not centered I installed them with the suspension loaded, and have the LCA's on the lowest holes. The measurements are as follows:
Drivers side:
-front of tire is 2 1/4"
-rear of tire is 1 1/4"
Passengers side:
-front of tire is 2 3/8"
-rear of tire is 1 1/8"
The wheels weren't centered before, but now its worse. I've got 28" tires on the way, that's going to pose a problem with the wheels not centered. How do I eliminate this problem?

A suggestion for you! You shouldn't have any problems with the relocation brackets. No to sure about the control arms! but when we ship out our adjustable LCA's they are pre-set to factory specs.What we recommend when installing LCA's do one side at a time. Doing so eliminates the rear end shifting problem. Just put jack stands under a good place on the frame letting the rear unload and use a floor jack to get the rear end back into position. Hope that helps
Thanks

Give me a call when you get ready to do your install. I'll step you through the correct way to do it.

LCA Problem! Hello
Did you compare the stock LCA's to the ones that you installed? If it shifted a inch you are probably rubbing the inner wheel well. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help!
Thanks

I still have the stock LCA's on, only thing I changed was the relocation brackets. I only have a half inch between the tire and the corner of the rear bumper cover (stock size tires on 16 inch rims) and there is about 2-3 inches between the tire and the back of the rocker panel. It wasn't 100% centered stock, but it did get worse after install.
Just trying to find out if there's anything to do to solve this before I spend money on adjustable LCA's.
edit: sorry if I jacked your thread 98.

We shouldn't need adj LCA's in order to use these right?
UMI, any suggestions? If the brackets are tight against the shock mount, it shouldn't matter how the rest was installed?
On mine it looks like the passenger side is worse. All I know is that the passenger side was difficult to get the bolt in while the suspension was loaded.

I just installed mine today and now I have the same problem. The wheels are off centered in the wheel well.

When installing the Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets did you do one do one side at a time and make sure that the control arm is able to swing freely to move to the other locations. Because if you installed them by taking both lower control arms out and just mounted them in the lowest mounting hole that would offset the rear end and it might be in a bind! If you have any other questions or problems feel free to call in and talk to our tech dept. Jerry will be able to take care of you!

Are all of you guys using the bolt-in or weld-in LCA relocation brackets???
I noticed when mocking up my weld-in ones last night there was a quite a bit of fore-aft movement. I guess with the bolt-in version this wouldn't be an issue...
