    I bought a lifetime alignment from firestone and they've been nothing but retards as well. I rebuilt/changed how my tie rods are connected to my spindle in order to make the truck hold not lose toe alignment offroad, so I took it in to get realigned yesterday.

    Same BS...

    They start by saying that they won't do it, because of "play in the lift kit"; when in reality they're pushing the steering rack back and forth. After I tell them "show me" and shoot down lame excuse after lame excuse, it becomes "well we can't promise anything".

    They then return with a shitty alignment and I have to point out "you guys didn't even touch the tie rods and the steering wheel is still off".

    At this point it is close enough and I'm just going to tack weld everything in place.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Batteries are not the question unless you plan on leaving the lights on when the truck is not running. You're concern should be with the alternator.

    Kragens are 35 Watts each and assuming your KC's are 55 watt halogens, thats 215 watts. That's an additional 18 amps of current draw if they are all on.

    Stock alternator only puts out 80 amps and is damn near capped out with just factory shit. Upgrade you're alternator. I picked up a 130 amp one for like 150 bucks of fleabay.

    Everything is going to be kind of robbed of power and the battery will not stay charged but yeah you can pull it off. Isnt really much different from running an Efan (my fan draws 22 amps). You should be fine for a weekend but id look at a High output alternator.

    and might want to make sure when you are done with your run to shut the lighting off and let the truck run for a while to charge the battery back up some. just a .02
