[QUOTE="Jhollowell, post: 1280954, member: 20013"] hey guys, i recently had some new tie rods and LCA's installed on my 2011 SCREW. After talking to the shop i was made aware of how bad our trucks alignment adjustment is and how easily it can get out of whack. I haven't had any issues yet and i don't do a lot of off-roading but now that i know how poor of a design it is, i'm thinking about doing some preventative upgrades. From what I've seen it looks like there is 2 options; 1: Slot delete from Rogue Racing. 2: Cam Alignment from SPC (sold by SDHQ) Correct me if I'm wrong but the slot delete removes all adjustment from the LCA and locks it in place and requires an adjustable UCA? The cam alignment kit makes LCA adjustment better but does not lock it in place. Do you need adjustable UCA with the cam kit? It seems like the slot delete is the best solution for alignment issues but is the most expensive. The cam kit is quite a bit cheaper but not as robust as the slot delete, but a lot better than the stock setup? Also, am i correct that with the adjustable UCA's you don't have infinite adjustment since you have to turn the Heim joint a half turn so the holes line up? Has anyone had any issues being able to get the alignment perfect with this incremental adjustment? Finally, what would you recommend for someone like me that doesn't do a lot of hard off-roading but still want the security. Spend the money and do the slot delete or is the Cam Kit enough. My current set up is stock LCA, Rogue Tie Rods, stock shocks with Geiser springs at mid perch. Stock UCA at the moment but likely to upgrade to Icon's or RPG or Rogue. Also running 18in Method Mesh's and 35 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. thanks in advance for the feedback cheers [/QUOTE]
