Has anyone had troubles with getting an alignment after putting the belltech 2/4 drop with stock 22" wheels. I'm hoping not to throw any more parts at it to make it zeroed out. Those of you that just did belltech kit, what were your final alignment numbers?

If you're referring to toe-in,you might have to trim the tie rods some.3/8" is a pretty common amount to cut off them.

Camber is where you should focus. You should be able to get camber and toe to specs.

Caster is another story. It's going to be close but out of spec, you want it to be mostly equal side to side with about .20 difference between sides. To correct caster its a bunch of work or you need different parts.

Everything is just all over in a way. But also it has 22" wheels. Not sure if that's a big factor

22 inch wheels are accounted for in the specs. They should not be the problem. I have acquaintances in my area that are running 24s with a 5/7 and others running 22s up front and 17s in the rear with no alignment issues.

It's 100% doable to align the truck after lifting or lowering, it takes patience and someone who will take their time and do the work.

Suggest you ask around for the best alignment person. Ask other people who have lowered trucks, regardless of make or model, in your area. A common name will come up.
