alignment is allready schedueld for monday morning , and i allready cut new tubing and spacers to fit the factory bolts in the rear shocks , i may have to say you have a great eye though , you can tell who has been doing this stuff a while lol. thanks for the heads up

Got the alignment done this morning and I couldn't be happier with the ride now , the truck seem to dart /wave at higher speed but that was due to my horrible camber angle. now rides like a dream just need to save up for some wheels to give the truck a more aggressive look
