When I did my lift it messed up the camber a lot, but I adjusted it about 3 times and now steers perfect, only issue is the a frames some times sounds like they are slamming too hard when I hit holes

There lies the first problem with using a spacer lift with old springs.Roger, it's a daystar leveling lift. 2.5 inch, not my choice the wife got it as a gift and I can't tell her no so I used it
Do you have bumpstops and what lift do you have/ plus how high
I have not installed it yet but plan to this weekend.
OME 2.5 927, 948, shocks
top plate
two conduits
bumpstops
245/75/16
Crager soft 8's
hockey pucks
Get ready for some spring/ UCA contact

I have the same set up and no UCA spring contact at all. But haven't flexed it out either...
Thanks.
How has the tire size affected power?
You don't have to flex it out to get contact. Just a small hill in the road that causes the front end to lift will do it, bumps in the road also.
It's affected it, but not dramatically. I live in Denver and go up to the mountains every weekend, and that's when it's most noticeable - driving 70 mph up steep hills on the highway. If you dont watch it, it wants to shift in an out of the passing gear constantly, which stresses out the ******. But it's not hard to keep it at 60/65 and leave it in 3rd. Just have to adjust your driving habits. Around the city it's noticeable, but not crippling. The next major upgrade I'll do (before new wheels or anything) is to re-gear to 4.10's. I've also had a drop in mpg from around 18 mpg to 16 mpg. Not huge, but noticeable.
The other area that's had the most affect, that nobody talks about, is the braking. I've notice a decent decrease in the braking power. Granted I'm running budget rotors and pads (for now), but it's definitely affected it. Had to do a panic stop at 45 mph the other day and couldn't lock up the tires. A little scary, especially with my little girl in the back seat. Sent the dog into the floor boards tho, lol.
That's basically what I meant. I was being lazy...:icon_lol:
