    I really want to go with the spindle lift but I just bought 265/65r18 bfg ta ko2s. They are a little over 31 inches, would they look way to small? I've seen some with 265/75r16 and 265/70r17 but I haven't seen any with 18s if anyone has ever had this setup please post pics.

    I have a question to those that are far wiser than I. I installed my maxtrac 4" spindles yesterday on my 2008 DC. Install went relatively smooth. Got it all done. I chose to reinstall the OEM coiler/struts as i prefer the smoother ride of those over the adjustable toytec coilovers with 5100 Bilsteins that I was removing. So told I took it to the local Toyota Stealership to get my tires rotated, road force balanced and aligned. I got tow outta three. They claimed they couldn't align it. Said they tried for three hours but couldn't do it. recommended I let them take it to the body shop and pull the frame. I said F no. I'm the only owner of the truck and I've never had an accident (knock on wood). So leaving the dealership I realized that the alignment seemed worse. when traveling straight dow the road my steering wheel is now pointed to the two o clock position. Pretty bad off. Is this normal? I've never heard of this before, unable to align a vehicle. I took it to another mechanic whom years ago installed a 6" trail master lift on my 98 2-door Tahoe which rode like a dream. He looked it over and said it shouldn't be a problem. Anyone else had similar issues? Ever heard of such? Thanks in advance.

    I wish we had a NTB. No such luck in my south Georgia small town of Valdosta. We have a Kaufmann's Tire, Goodyear and a Firestone dealer/shop. Those are the only chain locations I can recall ATM. The tires are BFG's MT KM2. First set of KM2's. Hate them compared to the multiple sets of KM1's I had.
