Do I need centralizing plates after lowering?

Post by FishermansFriend »

Hi,

Just looking for opinions please. The van has settled after lowering and I was wondering if I need to install centralizing plates? It looks like it may need to come back 1/2" but maybe I have looked at it for to long now.

I have these centralizing plates, would anyone know if they will will adjust the rear by 1/2" or would it be more?

Thank you.

I think if you move back 1/2" from where you are right now, you might end up contacting the arch liner.
The wheel might not be 100% central in the arch but it's much better than having it scraping and wearing through the liner.

Hi Doc,

As always you are correct, if I move it back any further it will be very close to the arch liner. I will leave it as is. Thank you for your opinion.
