So I need the alignment specs for a 3.5" lift for a 95 zj. I replaced tie rods and all jints and lifted the jeep so it was time to get an alignment. I went to pepboys and they told me that my jeep was going to pull because of my tires I told him he's full of s*** because they were new. I was at a buddys house today and I was standing in front of the jeep and my tires lok like they are pointing it like this \ / why?

If anyone knows that would be great because I'm going to have one fun morning arguing with them

Here is a link to home alignment job. This should help out. There are many others as well as descriptions here on the CF.

I had it done 3 days ago at pep boys so I'm bringing it back. I just need specs

I can look them up at work tomorrow, however keep in mind, the machine will not register the truck as having a lift installed, it simply identifies the position of the sensors (mounted onto the wheels) in space and refers them against o.e specs.

Whats the truck doing? Pulling, uncentered steering wheel?

When I stand in front of the jeep the front tires look like they are pointing in. I don't want my tires to wear weird

Gotcha. The real pain in the **** with aligning these trucks is spitting the toe, when compared to a traditional tie rod end setup. If someone is rather new to alignments, or doesn't own the Chrysler split toe specialty tool that makes it 10x easier, it can be boofed up.

If you're saying their so toed in its visible, they might be toed in so far yet split to counter a pull/push condition from the opposing tire. Ask to have them re-check the alignment, not necessarily reset anything, and just stand and watch the results from "compensating the heads", basically dialing in the specs. If the numbers are way outta wack compared to whats o.e, then you have your answer.

And don't let them say the lift has anything to do with it. If it was installed correctly, it did not. If anything, it'll change steering wheel position relative to the linkage, but Chrysler actually has an adjustment specifically for that O.E, no special tools required.

Hope that kinda helps.
