Hello everyone, I just got around to putting the tommudd 3.5" lift on my KK. After Installation, both of the front tires have a positive camber. https://ibb.co/cem8kQ The camber remained the same after I got it aligned (Though frankly I think they did not do a good job). Is this camber the result of the A-Arm Nut not being tightened enough? I thought I installed it properly and the cotter pin lined up correctly. Should I maybe just take it somewhere else to get aligned (I am in North New Jersey). I also have the JBA extended sway bar links installed in the front. Thanks. Doug |

 Dang the top of the wheel appears to be WAY out there. Usually the problem is in the opposite direction. Can you show us Pics of the lift parts and upper/lower "A" arms? Also a more straight down the side Pic, lining up front to rear wheel/tire faces would be helpful. |

Doug Did you tighten the UCAs with full weight on the ground From the picture looks way out |

Ah, no I tightened them while it was up in the air. Should I try loosening them while it has weight on it? Here are the photos if it helps, my floor jack decided to finally say goodnight and started spewing fluid everywhere so I couldn't get photos without the tires on https://ibb.co/ghmjS5 https://ibb.co/gMB175 https://ibb.co/b139uk https://ibb.co/ekPFZk https://ibb.co/bssDLQ https://ibb.co/d1jhEk https://ibb.co/gfXf0Q https://ibb.co/ksDW75 https://ibb.co/jWmUuk https://ibb.co/f36Jn5 https://ibb.co/ghmjS5 Thank you for the help |

Here is part of the issue. The lower A-arm appears to be adjusted all the way in. In the Pic look at the right side, center. See the oval slot cut for the bolt?  Take it to a good shop and have it aligned properly. |

Must have been a blind person aligning vehicles that day!

Ok, thank you for all the help. I will take it to my dealership to ensure it gets aligned properly. Wanted to get this out of the way before I start ordering armour and bumper stuff |

Wanted to get this out of the way before I start ordering armour and bumper stuff Some shops like to make you believe that you can not align a lifted Liberty, but you can, I always use the small Mom and Pop local shops to get mine done . |

I agree with tommudd. "Big" shops are not always the "best" shops. I had mine done at a local tire shop with a good rep. |
