    Hi,
    Just purchased a Gen 2 (2014) and it has the 265 - 65R-17's on it.
    From the front it appears the tires have too much positive camber.
    (top of the tires lean away from the truck \=/ )
    It also feels a bit squirrely.

    Someone said the dealer must have jacked up the torsion bars to level the truck, but it doesn't have torsion bars. -or does it?

    I want to run the tires/ alignment with zero camber for the street use it sees 99.9999% of the time and want the truck level at the same time.

    I did order 1" coil spacers to level the truck once I get this issue figured out.
    Your experience and input would greatly be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Don't add the spacers after you get your alignment corrected or you'll need another alignment.

    My advice would be to put your leveling kit on and then take it to a shop that specializes in alignments for modified trucks.

    Also welcome to TW :thumbsup:

    Got that covered.
    I live in Arizona, we have several places that specialize in it.

    I took the truck into a local shop and had it realigned.
    They said Yes, it was off but couldn't give me any numbers before or after the alignment.
    =/
    Runs straight and true now.
