    I see this all the time. Give your opinion so that a) an argument can be started, b) your tastes can be insulted (via dismissal or incredulity), or c) just to be overridden. And I'm not sure which is worse, when you do care or when you don't. :D

    Good to meet you glad it's all together. RCI has the bushings/spacers for the skid plate if you have trouble finding them elsewhere

    Oh thanks, I'll definitely give them a call.

    Also a general question- If I get an alignment now (after lifting the front) will I have to get another one after I swap my leaf packs in the rear? (@thefatkid Jake told me you might know the answer to this?)

    Haha but you're hiding the awesome prerunner look you have!!

    @thefatkid we had a question for you last night. Would getting the truck alined now with out the rear having the lift in mess with the caster enough when he does put the 3 inch dakars in to have to realine it?

    Front alignment has nothing to do with rear

    If they max the caster out it shouldn't make a difference. How much adjustment range does a 2nd gen normally have after a front lift?

    Trust me get the I alignment done now. It will save the uneven ware on your front tires. Don't ask me how I know :bananadead::anonymous:

    Not true. Increasing rear lift decreases front caster.

    How do you know?? I thought it was from not putting all the bolts back in for the adjustable front pinion mod??

    Haha luckily I'm still running my stock tires so I'm *less* worried about wearing them as I'm going to be going to new tires soon anyway... I am debating whether roasting my stock tires is worth saving $$ from doing a second alignment. How many miles did it take for you to ruin your front tires?

    I ordered new tires and wheels on Thursday.
    Shipping via Fedex from Kalifornia.
    They spent the weekend in Utah and are now in Henderson, Colorado.
    Today is Monday right?
    Scheduled delivery date of Thursday afternoon...:annoyed:

    I've had better luck with FedEx than both UPS and USPS.

    Also, please tell me 35s! I'd buy your Toyos if only they were in 285/75/17. Cool size. Pricey tires.
