    It’s added insurance for those “just in case” situations. Not a bad idea.

    Nah, those are too torn up for me.

    Also I was mistaken on how well the new tires cleared :laughing: I need to cut my fenders, my driver’s side flare is on the verge of being ripped off. I’ve got some work too do. Also waiting on some parts to do the cowl snorkel.

    They’re 33.5”
    But yeah 295/70R17

    I know what tires he's currently on. I pay attention.

    Is that the true size when mounted? Have you measured?

    I used Accurate Alignments and Service in Oceanside and they were great. Guy doesn't even mind you hanging in the shop and watching.

    Just called San Marcos and they won’t align my truck because it’s lifted. :annoyed:

    But the one off el Norte pkwy said they will do it and will offer lifetime alignments

    Really? I have heim upper controls arms and they aligned mine to exactly what I told them I wanted. The manager is really cool and understands lifted trucks and what not

    I have the lifetime alignment as well.

    just don’t go to the firestone in oceanside

    Off San Marcos Blvd right? Maybe it’s just a front desk person who was told to always say that :notsure:

    I think it really depends on the location. If they have guys comfortable with lifted trucks then they’ll do it. Know a lot of guys on here who get alignments done at different firestone locations

    Firestone off Black Mountain Road just aligned my truck last week. I have the lifetime alignment plan with them.
    Their alignments aren’t perfect, but good enough for the price and convenience.

    Think I’ll pay for the lifetime at the el Norte pkwy location, let them align it, if it doesn’t turn out good then check out that location. It’s not like I’ll have to pay again. :thumbsup:

    I think Bre had mentioned you get a discount on the plan being an essential employee. Or check for coupons online. Regular price is 200 but it can be had for 180.
