H+R Springs: Alignment

[SRT82ECOBOOST]

For all you guys out there running the H+R Springs, how was your alignment of your camber following the drop?

I haven't installed mine yet. (X-Sport)But after they are installed I will take my truck to the local Volkswagen dealer for alignment.  The VW is a big tuner car and VW at least here in jersey has embarrassed it and they have a really nice alignment set up that won't damage your wheels like a tradition shop would...
Just my 2 cents

If your asking if car needs brought back into specs the answer is yes, Livernois did my drop and took it straight to Dearborn Ford for the work.

I guess I should have clarified and said did you vehicle go back within specs following the drop and adjustment?

Mine did, no additional hardware required.

The rear needs some heavy torque adjustment to get it into spec when aligning.  There are brackets you can buy to make it easier, but at least in my instance there was no problem getting everything to spec out.

BPD did an article in the how to section, just FYI.

I had no issues with my 13 getting back into spec; I did put a little camber in for handling and I like it -- she swings around corners like a cheerleader on prom night!

Same here, no issues going back to stock specs.

I just loaded the OEM info for the shop I was at and showed them how it was done, since their alignment machines had zero info on it.  At first they didn't believe me but when I asked them to just loosen the bolt and pull, it moved and started going back into spec.  I had them shove with all their might and lock back on the other side maximum, then torque back down.  Finally a quick toe adjustment brought both toe and camber in the rear back into spec, just barely. 

Prior to the alignment, I was in the -2.5 degree range per side (in the rear).


Remember on the front, you can spin the strut mount 180 deg to get an additional .5 degrees positive camber per side if you need it.  Mine was within spec even dropped.

Front was fine... Rear is where you have to wrench it!
