Lift Installed today, possible problems

[jtex]

OME went in today. I had the shop install the 1/2 inch spacers from Toytec, the front is sitting slightly higher than rear and there is a slight positive camber.

Question is this:

Will the front springs settle 1/2 inch? They did on my FJ 5 years ago.

With the 1/2 inch settle, will this fix the positive camber?

Also installed the diff drop spacers and the cv boots are still looking stressed, will 1/2 inch spring settle fix that as well?

I doubt the truck will settle that much, but I've been wrong before. What I do know is that you need an alignment regardless of the settling of the springs.

Did the alignment, couldnt get the camber to 0.

Confused, OME went in today? What does that mean? An OME kit all around?. 1/2" spacer on top of that. Top hat spacer or spring spacer?

Diff drop makes no difference as it is not a drop really, just a tilt.

Camber will be off until you do an alignment to correct.

From my experience the OME lifts settle a lot.

If you could be more specific on what exactly you had installed we might be able to help. I’ve installed OME BP51 with medium rear springs and it maintained a near factory rake. Maybe slight less rack.

You lifted too high and/or you need UCAs.

What he said.

Really, anything over about 2.5" of front end lift is going to make alignment to factory specs a no-go without upper control arms.

I've never had OME settle, unless I've put a bunch of weight on it.

Who did the alignment? Are the eccentric bolts adjusted to their max already? Sounds like your lift is too high to be able to align correctly or your alignment shop just doesn't want to take the time to get it all adjusted properly. Upper control arms might help a bit, but you're probably better off dropping the lift down a bit. If it's so high you can't get it to align, you're going to really start wearing out other suspension components quickly.

Picture of the eccentric bolts on the inner LCA pivots would let me, or someone else, tell you what your issue is.
