NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Hmm, that's relieving and potentially time-saving. I just don't want to damage expensive tires when wheeling by rubbing on the pinch weld of cab mount. My new wheels the 285's will go on are 16x8 with a 0mm offset. Think I'll try my luck and go the CMC route if necessary. Thanks for the info!

 

Jim a yuuge fan of IPAs.

 

Lol I had visions of the South Park episode where Kyle's brother has a bris when reading his post.

 

And whiskey.

 

I rolled out of discount tire with new 285/70/17's and went straight home to cmc and pound town on the pinch weld. As the tire guy pulled it out and turned all I heard was tire rub. He hopped out when I was like wtf was that, a closer look showed shine on the cab mount. I'm pretty much maxed out at 3" with my icons, I need to take it to a place that will do a custom alignment and not just what their computer says my truck should be at and I'll probably be good for 35's at this point.

 

Well what's your schedule like? It's been a while since I saw your pretty face.

 

I go right before the bend that levels it out after the axle.

Thats more like it.

 

when you find a place let me know

 

I had visions of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer objects to the procedure.

 

Tru-line, there's a Kirkland and DT Seattle location. If you're uncomfortable telling them how much you weigh, probably not the place for you

They're recommended by the local BMW CCA and PCA chapters. Had them align my truck recently after I installed my SPC UCAs and I'm super happy with the results.

 

You should ask them get caster between 3-4* while getting camber and toe as close to 0 as possible

 

Discount tire doesn't do alignments, I'm a good customer at the local Les Schwab, between work and personal relationship, yet they still won't go outside what their system says for legal reasons.

 

I'm cultivating mass haha I should probably upgrade to those TC cam tab gussets first

 

I'll say it again, Tru-line

Here's my results:

 

Thats where @Usethe2nd went for his recent alignment after going 35's and hes had no issues yet my truck still sits higher than his on 265/75/16 vs his 35's. They are very precise with their adjustments and take multiple factors into the alignment. They ask questions that would affect alignment on the daily. I'm ready to just go with them or see what the diesel shop up the way can do.

 

Firestone in Silverdale wont touch my truck because they deemed my lack of sway bar as unsafe

 

I'm looking for 0 toe 0 camber and at least 3° or more of caster. Sounds like my solution.

 

Yea I got lucky with the les Schwab here in town, they give me no issues and hit the mark each time

 

Why not put your sway bar back on for the alignment? I can't imagine that would affect it?

 

It's the principal of the matter haha the Firestone down in Bremerton doesn't care but I'm just lazy
