front end alignment expert opinion requested

[TomGolden]

Hi all,



Some of you may remember my less than stellar experience a couple months ago with the installation of my Skyjacker lift kit. The axle is wayyyyy to far forward, and I want to put it back where it belongs.



Last weekend, someone suggested that since I did have the front end aligned the day after the kit was installed, all I should need to do is get the front end of the frame up on jack stands to get the weight off the front axle, mark all 4 control arms, and then just turn all 4 control arms the same number of turns until the axle is where I want it, and by turning them all the same number of turns, that will preserve my wheel alighment.



Is that a fairly true statement????



I have the Double Flex kit, which has all 4 new, fully adjustable control arms with the heim joint at each end. I kept the OEM arms, so I can measure them to see about where the axle needs to be.



I know I could just take the thing back in for another alignment after I mess with it, but I'd hate to spend another $50 again so soon.....



Thanks,

Tom
