The Lair

As many as it takes, Firestone will likely loose money or end my lifetime alignment work...ok I kid.

Hoping they dial it in...but I also think my Elkas came setup differently than advertised, my front hub center to fender well is 23/23.25 driver/passenger...they're supposed to be set to 2.5in higher than stock. My recollection is 22in is stock.

So who knows how many...I figured I'd get my money's worth and if I end up changing preload, I'll just take time off work to go to TakoToy-Rob's recommended shop outside RVA (again didn't ignore your experience with them)...just didn't want to drive the non-ac car, especially since I got stuck in dead standstill from an interstate accident yesterday in 107 heat index...not high on my post-work to-do list!

 

21" hub to fender is stock on the 3rd gens.

I'm running 23" exactly on mine.

 

I was just messing with you. Actually forestone should be able to get it right if your not dealing with rubbing as well.

 

Got driver rubs... plus still camber issues, and no alignment sheet makes me think they didn't have the truck on a machine for specs.

 

This a shitty alignment thread now?? Subd

 

If my build thread only a following...

EDITORs NOTE: DO Not Follow the build thread!

 

I followed... Reluctantly

 

I only sub'd because he told us not to.

 

Or an aligned shit thread.

 

Well...well...well. If it isn't the main crime boss himself?

"Whatever you drive, make sure it ain't Firestone."

 

I thought of you the entire time Rahl.

 

I hope I got you off quicker every time.

 

Things definitely got weird at first but then I remembered I had your pic saved...........

 

Wait...which picture?

 

GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU DAMN KIDS!!!!!!!!

I warned you it wasn't worth it!

 

You know what picture.

 

Oh snap! The carpet that I just ordered on Monday is arriving tomorrow. My sound deadening stuff is arriving today. After my video chat at 2, I'm going to tear apart my interior, at least partially, and get started on the install. I'll do the floor today and if I have time, the back wall as well. Tomorrow install carpet. Should make for a nice and quiet trip this weekend.

 

Where does the line start??

I am 100% curious about how much of a difference this makes for you. You're the worst case scenario.

 

Which line? And I'm super curious as well.

edit: I'm going to go for a drive on the highway at 60 mph and pull a decibel reading as a baseline so I can see what the actual upgrade is.

 

You can get by easily with a 1/2 ton gas pickup. I trailer my camper or the 4R on the car trailer, have trailered Randy's truck on the car trailer, no issues. 2017 F-150 with the 2.7 TT ecoboost. I tuned it and put air bags in the back and it pulls just fine.
