    Rough Country 3" lift
    I installed a Rough Country 3" lift and bigger tires. The shop that put the tires on also did a front end alignment. As soon as I left, the truck pulled to the right. I figured it was the tires since I bought them used. So I bought brand new tires and took it to a local Toyota dealer for another front end alignment. It still pulls right. They showed me the specs and it was dead nuts. Since I put the kit in, I'd like to take it to a shop that knows how to check to see if my work was done properly

    Is that a spacer and add a leaf? If so check measurements of rearend, may not be lined back up exact , if your front is good did they check rear? You could check w silver city tire in oneida, ask for dave the owner, he always been good to me. Keep us posted

    3" Spacer in front and 2" Spacer in the rear and newe shocks. I didn't have the Toyota dealer check the rear alignment because they were weary of doing an alignment because of the lift. I was beginning to think it might have been the rear alignment. Putting those blocks in by yourself is a pain. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Thanks for the help. Totally appreciate it. Any local clubs that do mud bogs around the area that you know of?

    I would be careful wheeling this time of year, i know most of the hunters dont like when a truck goes rippin by their favorite spot, and they have guns, and if u just scared away the buck of a lifetime they get real mad. But if u just want a place to get muddy let me know i know some farmers around oneida , vernon way

    Being a hunter myself, wheeling during deer season is not something I would ever do. I'm totally in to slinging a little mud from time to time though.

    I just got my truck back from Silver City. What a huge difference. Dave was as helpful as you said he would be. Thanks again for the recommendation.
