Northern Virginia Roll Call

Oh yeah. I dont buy that road crown nonsense. The steering wheel is just crooked. But the truck drives straight and has a good feel

 

Yeah i have Heard this from more southern states like SC or TX where when it rains it floods the road so they slope it to help dissipate the water faster so you don’t hydro plane and if you have driven down there you know. But up here i really Haven’t noticed it.

 

I might be able to get in on some of that...

 

I drove with a crooked wheel for a year.. then I got a real alignment

Ive seen it. But I dont think its making his wheel crooked.

Also he is paying $130 for an alignment. When he can go somewhere else and pay $99 and its better/custom to what he wants

 

All i know is that i dont touch my cab mount at full lock so im happy

 

but you said yourself.. on the street. Wait until you see gravel. Then your cab is just going to fall off. And your awning is going to also

 

Agreed is the high tech a one time deal or for a year etc?

 

nope. Its $150 each. I just assumed he went there because they are always giving out coupons for $20

 

Its close to my work. Anyone know where i can find some 20mm thick hubcentric wheel spacers?

 

Generally Sat or Sun work for me. The Fridays that I'm off are good to. Working Fridays might work, but I'd have to find a way to entertain myself until the meet. I'm off work at 1530 on the Fridays that I work, so I'm not heading back north if I go home first.

The 3rd after work should be doable.

 

Quick question. I have stock 265/70R16 tires on my taco. If I went up to something like 285/75R16 would I have to worry about rubbing in the tire well?

 

RIP. how bad is it?

 

Well guys it looks like ill have some 1.25" spidertrax spacers for sale that i got off of @JWROSE4 if anyone is interested.

 

I think you are good to go with those specs.
5 is a little much for caster, but it is within specs. You must have aftermarket UCAs to get that much caster adjustment out of it. You could drop it back a bit but that will move the wheel rearward towards the cab mount. I'd leave it as is.
"Slightly" more caster on the right will compensate for road crown(which IS real, btw) but the toe in is what is making your steering wheel a little crooked. They can adjust that out so it is straight.
I did alignments for many years. That's how I know

 

@Halffast555 they would look good on your truck.

 

No doubt haha. Just wanna know if its going to be fine or if its going to rub and I have to cut shit.

 

I run spc uca's and love them.

 

you will need to do a CMC

 

You never really know until you experience it. Mine rubbed immediately on the plastic so I trimmed that up and then got the cab mount chop done.
