i just dropped my 97 s10 with a 2.2 5 inches all around using all belltech components and i just took it to a local tire shop and they did it without a problem and the guy told me since i lowered it right and didnt cut springs and so forth that the allignment was alot easier to do

Thts what a lowriders all about is not being alignened ,and if you want the alignement perfect body drop it .put it on the ground thats all the alignement you need.

No, actually that's not what lowriders are about. "Lowriders" are meant to be nice and prestige. I wouldn't want someone in my club with that attitude. You want someone who would address the problem and fix it. Take your truck to the alignment shop and they should be able to take care of it. Depending on how low the truck is, depends on how much negative camber your front wheels have (How much they tuck) If it's not too much you should have no problem getting it aligned. If this still doesn't fix the problem you may want to check your ball joints. You're putting a lot of stress on your ball joints when you lower a vehicle.

Body dropping it has NOTHING to do with your suspension itself. Body dropping may require some modification, but in no way will it fix your alignment.

Don't even try and start the stupid discussion board fights. That ****'s ****in immature. It's just simply an opinion. And I think many will agree. There's those who can cut it and there's the big dogs. And don't hit me with trophies for this and that. I have my fair share of trophies.
