I put up an exciting recollection of it on the "what have you done to your truck today" thread. In short...it did not work.

The guy at town fair tire said I needed an alignment because I have 10k on the tires now...said no because I don't have $70 but is that really necessary?

I wouldn't waste the money unless

1) They are going to do it for free

2) You have noticed and issue with your steering

Ray, the truck looks great!!

Miles, I'm pretty sure that the only adjustment that can be done on a solid front in is toe. There's no caster because your leafs locate your axle and I'm pretty sure they arn't gonna move back and forth! And there shouldn't be any camber either.

Off to get more paint. My tail gate didnt cover well enough. I kinda ran out but couldn't tell how much it needed because it was near dark when I finished. I've bought all the cans from my groton autozone, new london autozone, only autozone left is in norwich, hopefully they have a can!

The truck does look really badass in person Ray. And it does it without being overboard like a lot of lifted duallies.

I agree, it looks completely badass. Especially with the tire size

Well thats good, i wouldnt have spent $70 on an alignment even if i had it. he was saying it was going to cause unnecessary wear, etc, etc if i didnt and i should come back soon. i dont have any problems so

Thanks everyone, I will post more pics once I install the 8" stacks thru the bed. Should I go thru the bed or around? I may want to put a cap on it someday. I can just cut holes thru that.
