Suspension TSB Alignment?

Good new man, but the dunflops are terrible tires and they will wear out pretty quick. I had them on my 05 D-Cab and I had to replace them at about 25k.

 

I totally agree man, I was just giving you a heads up on the dunflops.

 

So if they are putting two new tires on your truck you will want them to go up front you want them to put the best two old tires on the rear. They should redo the alignment with the new tires up front and give you a copy of the alignment report. Look at the alignment sheet make sure to study it check that the model of truck matches yours if there is a date on it is the correct date also if they have a repair order number on it it matches your repair order. Then look at the numbers for camber,caster,toe it will show a before reading and a after reading look for changes showing that they adjusted something and also these numbers will (should be)colored red means out of spec green means in spec. And if you see something that you don't understand by all means ask them if the writer does not have the answer have them bring out the guy who did the alignment to explain it to you.

you put new tires in the front because its safer...less likely to blow out. Better traction etc.

 

Also you want the alignment to be set to specs with new tires not old tires.

 

Glad to hear they finally made you happy. Alignment will kill your avg mpg...believe me I know. One of the first things I buy for my trucks has been the lifetime alignment from a place like Expert Tire. For 129 bucks it includes life time alignment and tire rotation...it pays for itself after I use it twice. I always take my truck to get it done before a cross country trip, off-roading etc. No more of that ...coming out of the trail get on the road feeling of ohhhhhhhhhh schiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzit my steering is off..now I can just make an appointment and bring the truck in to get fixed for free.
