[QUOTE="NotStock, post: 572828, member: 862"] I have been told by 2 separate industry/dealers that the 2011+ trucks should not have alignment cams installed in the upper ball joints to get the castor back when installing leveling/2.5" kits. I have not confirmed this but just wanted to get this out there before it was too late. It had to do with the axle seals being metal instead of the previous years that were rubber. When the alignment cams are installed it rolls the knuckle to the rear and the axle is no longer centered inside the axle tube. Its not off by much but it is off center. Previous years had no ill effects since the rubber could flex to allow this. Supposedly the newer trucks with the metal seals will either brake the seal or cause damage to the axle/housing. A customer called me with this concern and I talked it over with a local dealer. I will be building him a set of replacement radius arm frame mounts with the appropriate mounting location for 2.5" lifts. This will prevent the need for installing alignment cams. Just wanted to throw it out there for anyone considering doing alignment cams. [/QUOTE]
