    To be honest its pretty much unsafe to drive...I had to creep home doing 10-20 MPH and it was darting everywhere and feeling horrible.

    I plan on making an appointment at a local bodyshop tomorrow to see what they say about it. Stupid mistake on my part but nothing I can do about it now.

    Me too, the worst part is that this is the first time I've had to get under the truck and seriously look around since the dealer sprayed my frame, needless to say I'm NOT happy with the amount of dirt/crap they just sprayed over without taking a minute and running the damn thing through the carwash...halfass techs doing halfass work makes me angry

    I'm betting its not the fogs. Its probably those brighter PIAAs, maybe need to aim the down just a tad.

    They may be fine with no weight in the back but with your overcooked spaghetti you call leaf springs, with the canopy and who know what else in the bed, the sagging back is causing the headlight to point skyward.

    Why? I've had both and I'd take the KM2s any day over the AT/KOs (except maybe on ice). I put 13,000 miles on the KM2s with hardly any wear.

    When I have the money for it, I'm gonna run them as summer tires, and I'll do studded Duratracs for the winter.
