    It's true the tires don't affect alignment, but they can show if your alignment is off. With stock tires I never would have noticed a caster misalignment. But with my new bigger tires only rubbing hard on the right side mud flap & you could see very obviously the right side had a smaller gap between mud flap and tire. Now that it's properly aligned, I get to keep my mud flaps and my 33's!

    Dude, looks great. I have the exact same set up. Only diff is I have a DCSB TRD OR.....lol I love the way it drives. I trimmed my fenders yesterday and I dont rub anymore unless im in reverse and I hit a bump or something that causes it to flex more, thats the Cab mount that is. Im gonna do that, but seeing the ground is covered in snow here as well, im gonna wait a week or so thill I cut it.

    First time I got to test the Duratracs out was last night with about 18in of fresh snow on the roads and they handled great! I don't rub on the cab mount yet as I haven't flexed the suspension but it's Damn close.

    They are great in the deep snow. About a week after i got mine we got 12 inches. I was out messing around in the middle of the night before the plows got to it. I cant even imagine how nice these tires would be in snow/ice if they were studded.
