Well you did say they weren't going to do anything about it so what good is it doing your tires to bitch about it? Fix it and be done to save the expensive rubber. Is it right? No i agree but Pissing and moaning about it is a waste of time and $.

your post is a waist of time, it isn't wearing my tires bad the alignment is close but i like perfection you may not. the info i posted is so if anyone buys the lift they look for this when they get it. I can bitch about it when its my money and i don't want to grind on my lift. so how about you go post somewhere else that sounds good.

yes its the 6.5" i was pleased with it. i like the strut bars it comes with and the option to get it silver. another plus is the spindles are thicker than the other lifts like rough country. Some of the other kits there is welding or more cutting than this one. The mcgaughys only requires you to make 2 simple cuts and you if you ever decided to take the lift off you can go back to stock height. I do not believe with some of the other manufactures you can.

Your grammar is a waste of time and I will post were ever I damn well please, I didn't say you couldn't bitch about I said it's not going to get your truck fixed, your making a mountain out of a mole hill, the installer should have caught that, I also agree it's poor quality control on the manufacturer but if I would have seen that on my alignment rack I would have informed you that it might cost a couple extra bucks to grind it down unless you were a good customer then I would have just done it, not charged you anything and you would be on your merry way.

Easy fix, loosen the cam bolt, turn the cam high side lobe away from the spot, hit it with a grinder then shoot a little paint on it and done in 5 mins or less.

I would be upset too, even though its a simple fix.
