So, I brought my TJ to get an alignment a while back and while they were doing that they brought up the fact that I need to get an adjustable rear track bar to get the thrust angle right, fine, I had already planned on doing that. (Didn't let them, it's on the list)
Then they said in order to get the lift I have correctly aligned (4" old man emu springs and 1" body lift) they needed to add some drop brackets to my front lower control arms (I'm going to be installing a RuffStuff long arm kit, so I declined)
And in order to get it all REALLY right they needed to install ball joints with "the proper angle to them" and I "can't just use ANY ball joints with my - 4 INCH LIFT"......
Now, I'm no master mechanic and I don't know a super duper amount, but I have NEVER heard of such a thing. Is this a thing? And I cant understand how simply lifting my TJ would change the independent angle of my ball joints in the first place.
Was I being bullshitted or is this actually a thing? Thanks for any input.
