    Does firestone give people issues after you put aftermarket gear on?

    There were trailered rigs coming in all over the place. Not exactly sure where they parked their trailers but we had enough room to put it in our area.

    Edit: and stock 3rd gen shocks and coils.

    Thinking I'm going to slap 5100s on the coils and .25" top plate spacer on either side and call it good for a while.

    Haven't had an issue yet. Took it there after @Texoma did all the front bits and they did it fine. Had the lifetime alignment since like 03. More than paid for itself time and time again. :thumbsup:

    Thanks. I was thinking the investment now should basically turn into free alignments after two visits. I used that for my wife's RAV4 after I replaced her front shocks just incase I messed something up and had to redo it.

    It's national too. Bought in Washington state and they just looked it up here. I think it was like 169 or aomething. So worth it.

    Not bad at all. Wife use to take it in after all wheeling trips so it was definitely worth it.

    Mine got hit in abilene a month ago and the anti venom along with the emergency vet there saved his life. Took him a few weeks to start acting normal. Hope all goes well for his dog. Killed this one on patio last weekend

    That's about the same size as the one that hit my Catahoula last year. Struck her in the face which ended up being a good thing. She reacted well to 1 round of anti-venom. I sure do miss her; been tough coming home and her not greeting me like she did everyday. Ugh.

    The next time we cross water that deep there better be bacon or pork belly on the other side!
