I had a friend get a new Chevy 2500HD & he had a shop crank his keys to level it out for him. He sent me the pictures to see what I thought about the CV & tie rod angles. Just thought I would get your opinions on if this looks to extreme or if he'll be ok?

Some of the pictures look bad, then I look at some & they don't look horrible. Should he decrank some or will he be ok?

will he be ok?

yes on the road but it will ride like ass!!!

should he de crank?
Absolutely; but then probably wouldn't fit those tires. Stop being a cheap bastard and order a lift kit if you want bigger tires


you should know all this :p

Meh, doesn't look any worse than mine and mine drives great. Doesn't look like he's to close to the bump/droop stops

Like I said, it looks bad in some pictures, but just hard to tell. I'm not a cheap bastard; I'm ordering my lift in the next couple of days. My friend on the other hand can definitely be a tightwad. Hopefully my 33s won't look tiny. I'm going to lower the truck to more like a 4" & hopefully it will be fine.

If he doesn't want to buy a lift kit have him look up cognito uca. Will not make it a ton better but will improve the ride a little. But those angles are not great. I would drop it down a little. When I bought my 04 2500 the angle was like that. I bought cognito uca and bilstein shocks. I ended up dropping it down a few turns which made it ride great.
