- When you add a lift to your vehicle or change any of the steering components like the tie rod, drag link, pitman arm, etc... You should perform an alignment afterwards. In this video we'll cover how to adjust the toe. It may not be as good as a complete computer laser alignment machine doodad but this trick should at least get you very close if not dead on.
If you plan to do more than 1 I have since started making these Alignment tools that make the job much easier! bleepinjeep.co...

you can also do cheap alignments on any flat surface with stacks of 3-4 plastic garbage bags under each wheel, it lets you slide them around
You're at the top of the list of "educational" video. You present well, speak clearly, get right to the point without wasting time, and address all possible issues related.
Not really a fan of grand cherokee's, but i'm always happy when a new cheap jeep video is out...
Titan
Sorry Bro ,
But Grands will unexpectedly kick tons of ass. Cept for a for an extraction , parts usally come flying off......lmao
Titan i wanted a regular Cherokee because i thought they looked better. the grand cherokee is just better all around. better brakes, better suspension and nicer interior.
once you pull the bumpers off and out on some steel bumpers they look great. if i could go back i would get a grand cherokee instead.

I used to agree with that, but now I'm in a modded '04 WJ Limited. Hard to beat a V8 in a solid axled Jeep with a D44 rear and locked front/rear. That QuadraDrive is the real deal. The only drawback is that you have to open up the wheelwells more to fit bigger tires. These V8 models come with double cardan driveshafts in the rear so no SYE kit is needed. The '04 Grand Limiteds/Overlands are the king of the Grands (excluding the SRT8s of course).
^^^^Not to mention it's pretty awesome to wheel in full leather heated seats 😎
cavediverjc ----D44a. The "a". Is important. Don't know what I'm talking about? Google it.
why didn't you put jack stands under the front axle? It would be much easier and whole lot safer.
Tires can be worn unevenly or have uneven psi. Balljoints and bearings can wear and cause slop.
Wheels could be bent. Of course..... ideally.... that wouldn't be present.
Doing it this way isolates that out.
@@xmo552 that makes absolutely zero sense. If you put stands under the front axle instead of under the body, AND THEN remove the wheels.... You don't have to consider how much the pitman arm has lifted the drag link which lifts the tie rod, shortening the distance. Your vehicle will be sitting at ride height.
It would be cool to take it to an alignment shop and see how close you got it.
no vehicle really is ever perfect, it can be in/out in certain areas and still be within spec. as long as it meets the tolerances set by the manufacture
WOW thank you for that vidio i just did a 4.5 lift on my grand cherokee and i had a slight death wobble when my front tires got warm and it pulled to the right so thanks again for all your help in your vidio's i love them alot and watch them over and over so i dont miss anything keep up the good work
Just found your channel tonight. This is awesome. I'm planning on a WJ build so this is very helpful.
Thanks for your great work.
Flashback to the amish days.
This is gold, thanks! When you just gotta get a few miles out of it before you can afford alignment
did you check that the steering wheel was straight before you started adjusting
dude love your videos! keep this series coming
Slick, very slick!
steel plate then grease then steel plate undoor the front tires works best, very little frickson.
I'd like to see a video for CJ7 toe in. I can't find one.
great tip
Quick question do you..measurements colses to the back side or front side thank you
Another video well done mate...
Loved it
Dude I love the music choices for Cheap Jeep so far, it's hysterical.
On my jeep stock suspension I have 1.6 toe out on drive side and .6 toe out on passenger. Even if I adjust the sleeve for toe in Wont the wheels still be off? How do I get them align up if one adjusting sleeve connects to both tie rods? Won’t one always be off? Is there a bad ball joint or anything else that could cause this? Everything seems right when I checked it and I got new tie rods on it. Any help from anyone would be appreciated
Hey man can you tell me how may inches it is wheel to wheel for stock alignment on the other type of set up for a wj
We've always just used string to cheaply align them.
Good stuff.
Lift the veheecule up...lol
Did you change the pitman or its stock?
Hey do you know how to realign the body of a wrangler TJ to the frame? Was in an accident and my body shifted forward on the frame. We bought it used and it seems to have a 3in body lift kit installed.
Hi Matt, Thank you for this video. It seems to me that the only time an alignment would be needed on an XJ is when lifting or when replacing the tie rod or drag link? Is that accurate? Whereas every other car I've own in the past, it was always recommended to get an alignment with every set of new tires. Vehicles with Y link steering only have the Toe adjustment, and that's adjusted by the adjustment sleeve on the tie rod, and so if that sleeve doesn't move, then alignment will not change?
Its still recommended to align. You're right, if the sleeve doesn't move you shouldn't need it adjusted......
But it does lose adjustment, especially if you off road often and also if you have large tires.
witch transfer case is in the cheep jeep .some lifts say u can't lift if it's AWD.
Bryan Miller you really need to learn how to spell..
Logan Elmore good answer
@@Tobyncorps
The reason some with awd you can't lift is because of the factory drive shafts they use. Rzeppa for example, they dont like high angles. You can swap those out.
Another reason, on 2011 grand Cherokees with awd for example .... the awd also gets you air ride suspension included. They use ifs and a live rear. The issue is the air springs. You can swap in convention coils to lift it.

I wish you would start every video with a "hello America"
I was wondering if anyone know where to find cluster with tac. These guy are crazy on ebay. It's for a 2000xj
Junkyard
You can also have it rebuilt.
Ur cool!
Justin Olivier ya he is cool 👍🏿
Somehow your video is "restricted" on TH-cam
that looks dangerous as hell. lol
pfft you aint seen nuthin
You gotta' get busy livin' or get busy dyin'
Don't you meen "pardner" 😁
The word in the title should be "its" not "it's."
pktuhus grammar Nazi
you aint really cheap till you use brakes from a wrecked Jeep. er from two wrecked Jeeps. hell, that is Roadkill status all the way.
Always stoked for a new bleepin' jeep vid... but lately you're scaring me brother! first with the ratchet straps as spring compressors and now the 3 stacked 6x6's.
never seen an alignment done like that. but seems like it should be close.
good work
for realy heavy rust penetrating. use autotrans fluid and acetone. mixed. 50/50
i really enjoy picking my nose when i first wake up
It's good for the ribaflabin
You can do this with the wheels on sitting on the ground. Just measure the insides of the wheels front and back, adjust until they measure equal. I have had good luck measuring the center tire tread as well. You can put plastic trash bags under the tires on your garage floor so the wheels turn easy, be careful pulling the Jeep onto the bags! FYI make sure your steering wheel is straight before you start.
Good advice!
Late to the party here, but...with the distances between the front and rear of the squares that you're measuring, couldn't you just measure the same distances between the front and rear of the rotors?
Exactly How I did my Alignment after I custom built my steering on my XJ. Have to have it really close before I went chopping away at my expensive DOM tubing. Great video!
Thank you for making this video! I'll be lifting my ZJ soon and doing this.
I am so using your alignment trick much easier then what I was doing before bleepingjeep is the best
But yeah that's not going to work with independent suspension.
Independent suspension you have steering alignment and Camber alignment. And then you have to do the camber front and back.
Is it possible for one to be more in aligment than the other? My drivers side wheel looks fine but my passenger side is visually out of alignment. Same vehical.
Nice miming. Giving marcel Marceau a run for his money.
What is the hose hanging down?
Sweet, I have new thicker tie rod on the way this week. I was wondering how I was going to get it back in alignment.
terrafier.
never thought of that way... thank you for another cool trick...
Nice job, never seen using squares tho... But does seem legit!
What about camber adjustment on a 99 xj ? I’m finding shims for my Dana 30 but nothing on the install, my driver side is negative 0.5 degrees out and the passenger is a negative 1.0 as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if there’s nothing you can advise thanks for reading my comment/ question and keep the videos coming, we love them.
Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you!
I'm checking my alignment on my TJ and found it to be off by half an inch does that seem like something I would notice driving it seemed to drive okay pulled a little bit
awesome idea... thanks bleeping.. I'm gonna check sons alignment
Nice trick. i am going to use it.THANKS. Blip jeep
I'm here right now looking at leaf spring.
Great trick! Keep up the top notch effort.
just lifted my XJ 6". need to do this.
Nice move with the steel plates👍🏽
I just did that yesterday lol
Great idea with the squares.
handy video
Very Kool

Thanks for the tip on alignment. I have a quick question for you. Do you know if the alignment causes my 53 wagon to NOT Want To Follow around turns when towing it with a tow bar? Could it be camber and caster? My tires ware evenly so it's not way out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Jerry Enebak I tow a lot of old trucks flat. Only time one didn't want to follow was a 92 f150, steering column locked up because I forgot to leave the key on it. Also, I have an M35a2, and when swapping tires to more modern tires on those it helps a lot to modify the plates that set the caster angle. If it's anything to do with your alignment, I'd look at caster first.
Can any of Matt’s followers tell me at what “Lift Height” OE XJ alignment specs change ? I have a 3” Lift. Some say OE is correct, some not. Alignment shop can’t confirm, so how do I determine if I should be targeting OE, or something ‘other’ ?
Thanks

Matt, I'm looking for a bolt on stinger front bumper for a ZJ and I'm coming up with only the JCR DIY bumper. Do you have any suggestions?

Great idea

Hi Matt, I have a question. I have a lifted 05 Jeep Wrangler TJ running 33x12.50 tires with a Dana 35 3.73 in the rear and a Dana 30 front. I can't afford to swap them out for 44. I want OX E lockers. I was thinking of starting in the rear diff first then later do the front when I get the money. Should I go ahead and upgrade the axles also? I don't do rock crawling or anything drastic. But I do enjoy a challenge. I just like to keep up with the 'Boys'. lol... Jeep girl thing ya know. Love watching your videos.
Do what money allows for. Axles are easy enough to swap out, keep what you have until it breaks!
Laurie
What did you end up doing?
how about the rear? how do you do alignment ??
There's no toe adjustment on the rear.
You have one of those extremely rare rear steer XJs.
Lucky you.
thanks for this video. i will try this with mine. its much better than the method with keeping your tires on because your tread on your tires can be off on each side
taraaaa ..👍👍👍👍👍
Not in my town. Haven't had one in the junkyard in years
I die everytime you do those little intros for the cheap jeep ;D
Thumb up!!!
