    Getting alignment today since I was able to get my new UCAs on last night. My truck is pretty heavy right now, 100% in the rear though. Is it bad to get alignment while loaded up, especially if it won't be my daily weight?

    Weight in the rear will unload the front. You shouldn't get it aligned like that.

    Agree, specs will be for GVW and that's unloaded. Put it in reverse, get up some speed and slam on brakes. Rinse and repeat. Lol

    I think I'm at the max for the Dakar HDs right now. Roughly 650# so I'm sitting lower than normal in the rear.
    Normally I have about an inch of rake

    Have it aligned with your usual load.
