    It was too dark last night to get decent shots of everything on so I just ran out to snap a few more. Made some calls around to the local shops and nobody said they'd work with me on getting an alignment that wasn't oem spec. I'll be putting the stockers back on for now until I can bribe someone to give me more caster.

    Dynamic Diesel and Bear Alignment in Snohomish will. Just tell them to max our your caster and not go OEM spec. $109 for my last alignment.. Unless you try it yourself.

    Psst...




    When you do all of this proper cycling of the suspension mumbo jumbo you're going to pull the coil springs and do it on the shocks right?

    It's a bit more work but you will know exactly what to cut, bang, chop and tub to clear dem new tares.

    He should because he's swapping spring, so has to take the coil off anyway

    Edit: thought this was someone else's build :facepalm: that's a lot more work then..

    That's the plan, I have to pull the CO's apart anyway for some preventative shock maintenance, simple thread chase and re-wax. I anticipate lots of cutting this weekend. That said do you think I'd be fine patching the firewall with some pop rivets and sealant? Most people get in there with a welder but given my luck I'd light myself and the truck on fire.

    You'll light the truck on fire at least once, just be quick at responding to it haha. Have water nearby so you don't have to sacrifice the beer that is no doubt by your side while doing this entire operation.

    Pop rivets should work just fine as long as you use enough of them. Smother sealant on top, outside and inside.

    Good choice on 35's btw!

    Things are looking really good! Truck looks badass! Keep it up.

    As for the alignment, pretty much all shops won't adjust out of spec for liability reasons. I have the lifetime firestone alignment and take it there regularly. The people at the front desks won't play ball when I ask to get it to certain specs I want. So I just hang outside the bays and catch the techs when they pull the truck onto the rack and tell them what I looking for and usually hook me up.
