    So I pulled out quite a bit of preload, control arms seem at a happier angle. Now to realign and see how she feels. The before doesn't show control arm angle but you can see the amount of preload it had

    Well I think I got the alignment dialed in. I added as much caster as could, took out as much camber as I could. And measuring the rear for toe is 72" exactly and the front measures 72 1/16" ish maybe a little more. The steering wheel doesn't return hard, but it does return which is didn't before and no more squealing of the tires when I turn. I'll just have to keep an eye on it and see what happens.
    Also to note, taking out the preload softened it just where I wanted it :thumbsup:

    They're awful lol
    They're louder than hell, it took over a pound of weights to get them balanced, and they're ridiculously heavy on there own. As far as performance goes they're good. They don't handle well on the pavement in the rain though.

    I always heard they were heavy but they did well in the dirt. But I might just play it safe with some ko2s again. I’ve always just thought about getting a set. I’m pretty sure they run like 280 a pop also

    They're very expensive. I only have them because I got a killer deal from a friend. Once they're done I'm going back the BFG they're the best imo

    I forgot about those. I just looked them up. Pretty reasonably priced. Look cool. I’ll have to see some reviews and keep them in mind. Thanks.
