I would take it to get a front end alignment. Thats what it looks like.
Fabtech Coilovers
Hello,
I recently had the Fabtech Performance 3.5" coilovers installed on my '02 4WD TRD double cab. I also have the Total Chaos 1" front diff drop installed. My front tires are now bowing slightly (not vertically center). The top of the tires are bowed slightly out (maybe a half to three quarters of an inch). I can't figure out what's causing it. The coilovers are currently set at about 3". Has anyone ever seen this or have any ideas what might be causing it? Below are some pictures. It's kinda hard to see the tires actually bowed, but you can see the dirt on the inside portion of the tire. That is the part that isn't making contact with the road.

Thanks in advance,

That was about the most intelligent thing I've ever seen you post. You also get a cookie because you spelled everything correctly.Lucky13TRD said:I would take it to get a front end alignment. Thats what it looks like.
Ya, what lucky said. You need to get an alignment whenever suspension components are changed. They should just be able to adjust it so that everything is good to go.

Sounds like your camber is way out of spec. They should be able to get it in spec. I have had some places try and dick me around saying that suspension lifts change factory geometry so much taht you can never align them again. Don't take no for an answer, they can align it it's just a matter of if they want to take the time.
Thanks for the responses. I called Fabtech and they are telling me alignment as well.

He would have given some random advice and then admitted that he really didn't have any knowledge of the subject but thought he should throw in his three cents.snutty said:WWAD ? tell me please
Some people can never get over the past.

Glad you liked.
I did very much, Ill keep that one.
You have my permission to put it on your web site.
What web site? Link maybe?
I forget...a web site is a complex thing.
you got those fabtech's cranked up 3.5"? your cv angles look almost stock... ive seen other pictures of tacos's with 2.5" coilovers and there cv's look like there angled at 45 degrees.. what up wit that? just wondering because im looking into coilovers and the donahoes/kings only suggest 2.5" of lift because of cv angles and balljointsand your doing 3.5" with hardly no cv angle
