    Con-... your gas mileage will suffer due to actual changes in elevation (more than just over passes)

    Long winters, short summers, forest fires, flooding, wasting disease, inflated property values.
    Really the only cons are too many Californians moving here and not enough Texans. :D

    Its fully welded. I took the pic before I welded it.

    For a car or something the tire won't stuff in to it might be ok as is.

    This is the front all welded.

    Short summers? Wat.. maybe I'm used to Alaska now but even before that I've always thought the summers were pretty long haha.
    Born and raised in Colorado so after my time in the military I'll most definitely be back.

    No. You have the 4 cams on the lcas, 2 a side. And the tie rods. But id say u need an alignment regardless...

    Yeah, I didn't post that very well.
    I got an alignment. All good now, just wanted to make sure everything was adequately tightened this time. Thanks! :thumbsup:

    It was pretty nasty... I didn't get a print out of the "before" specs but I could visually see a toe problem and it pulled hard to the right.
    Just weird that that little bit of mild wheeling would knock it out so bad, that's why I'm guessing something was left a bit loose.
