    Oh I misunderstood. I thought you said you had everything for the install but were waiting on the secondary shock from king. I just picked up some taco tabs and am going to see how those do for keeping the truck alignment. I’m going to run a bead behind the tabs to reinforce and maybe gusset the mounts.

    I’m debating getting the double shear steering tabs, but will probably waiting until I’m ready to upgrade the steering since it won’t do much for me now. My rack might be on its way out. It’s been leaking, but I haven’t noticed any change in performance so am I good for a while? Just keep an eye on fluid?

    Lemme know how those taco tabs do I’ve been thinking about them, really like the idea of getting an alignment then putting those in.

    Shoot I may just try to do the camber and caster myself since there’s only a few adjustments with the tabs and just have a shop toe it in if I can’t do it. I have the worst luck with auto shops. They never want to go outside of factory specs or just do a toe and go.

    My local dealer is the best alignment I can get around here, but idk if they’d mess with it if I put those on. I figured get an alignment then try and swap the tabs so you know which plate to use?

    I thought that too, but after reading more on here it doesn’t look too complicated to set it and just have it toed in at a shop.

    Thats it, you hit it perfect, most people go further to the right to avoid the tree and end up sliding right back over against the tree. Jester is a good 1st trail, it gets you ready for the rest, I wish I could have went with you all.

    It was a very fun trail/ park. Got to see what my truck is cable of. Really didn’t struggle at all. When I go back I might try the other half of brokefoot which is a 4 out of 5 in difficulty. The part I went on was like 3 or something
