I had my shop at the Jeep Dealership where I work install my lift. They have tried twice and can't get it aligned properly. Is there something we are missing or anyone else having this same issue getting proper alignment after the daystar lift? Our alignment rack is state of the art. It was like $80,000.00.
The front end should setup fine, it's the rear that's a bit harder. On mine, the rear was still off by a degree. Not much but it is my understanding that you should be able to get that better too. What kind of numbers are you getting?
Just curious, do you have a Trailhawk? Seems to be a little trouble with the Daystar lift and the Trailhawk. The shop spent some time talking to Daystar because it was so far out of alignment after the install. Daystar gave them a little help over the phone
Yes, Trailhawk, and we just got off phone with DAYSTAR. Think Daystar got us squared away. Great customer service!
Daystar gave my shop manager and technician some info and photos of the bolts that go into unibody for alignment purposes. Tomorrow they will be putting it to work and see if they can get it right. This will be my shops 3rd attempt. That will get it!! It's a learning curve thing. We don't do slot of lifts, and this is their first Renegade lift ever. Will have Daystar on speed dial! lol
This is the best that the shop could do when I brought it in for the alignment after I installed the Daystar lift. I actually did have to grind out the skid plate on both sides of the gas tank for the 2016 trail hawk to get it all to fit right. I think it helped bring in the rear right toe a little more.
This Quote was taken from the (Daystar lift issues) thread from member -tyod -dated April 6th 2016 . I don't know if there is any truth to it or not. "The only issue I can see people running into is the rear wheel alignment. This Jeep Renegade is a new vehicle, the mechanics trying to align your jeep may have never seen this vehicle before. It's understandable that they don't know the adjustment points. So, make sure to tell the mechanic (not the sales person, the Mechanic) that both trailing arms are adjustable. The rear trailing arm is obvious, it's a camber bolt. The mechanics see this and take a quick look at the forward trailing arm and say 'there's only one adjustment point and it's maxed out'. Wrong! The forward trailing arm is a slide, the large washer covers the fact. At a quick look it's easy to miss. Tell the mechanic that both trailing arms are adjustable and (if the mechanic is worth his/hers paycheck) you will have no problems." Does any know what section of the forward trailing arm that is the "slide" tyod is talking about?any pics of that area?
