    Alignment scheduled for tomorrow morning. Looks like i'll have to trim a tad more of the fender plastic, and possible the front fender liner? Did any of you zip tie the front inner fender liner (black) out of the way?

    yep, can always do that. I just remember someone saying there was a clean and hidden way to zip tie it up out of the way.

    Yep I trimmed mine but the problem is I had to trim where it mounts to the outer fender, so it was just flopping around when I got up to speed. I used black zip ties & secured it up about 4" out of the way.

    He went with almost 5+ degrees of caster (0 camber/toe), which i was intially concerned about. But I guess its fine, as the wheels are directly in the middle of wheel well, do not hit cab mount, and only bareeeely touch inner black plastic in the front of fender when turning/braking at same time

    So I misspoke, it's at almost 6 degrees of caster. That's the most I've seen... it drives awesome and doesn't rub, I think this why he went that high, to prevent me from rubbing, which I anticipated.

    Maybe I should call him and have him bump it down a bit?IMG_5091.jpg

    Maybe try a carrier bearing drop kit

    It mitigated my take off vibe to something only I can really 'notice'

    Thought Id chime in on this thread and see if any one is having the same issue as I am, has anyone had any vibration from the drive shaft when you accelerate pretty hard? I just put the lift on about 2 weeks ago and ive noticed a slight vibration. I didnt do a drive line drop cause maxtrac said it wasn't necessary, but im picky and Id like to catch it before it becomes a problem. Im running the BFG'S like everyone else 285/70/17

    Thats what I was considering but the one I purchased seemed like it was over kill it was 3/4" to 7/8" spacer so i was thinking to my self if maxtrac is telling me i dont need one then 3/4-7/8 is way to much. So im thinking i may just take a couple 1/8" washers and stick them in there. Any thoughts, let me know if anyone thinks thats a horrible idea.
