    Quick question OP, you getting any driveline vibes with the billies at 1.75? And how're the specs with your alignment/camber/caster etc?

    Oh and btw those wheels aren't my cup o' tea, but I've heard good good things about the GG AT2s....do it. DO IT.

    I would say on a scale of 1 to 10 on driveline vibe...I'm at 3... maybeeeee. Other than that, all seems good so far especially with the leaf TSB. I was going to ask about a driveline fix at some point.....waiting for things to settle a bit first to see if it stays.

    Ya, I'm not sure about the wheels either....but I can't do the all black thing...no offence anyone, just a little over done for me.

    Alignment is off a tinyyyyyy bit.....going to take it to a shop I know that did my old giant Dodge 4x4. Those guys can dial in anyyyyyything!!!.....and if they can't???....they'll tell ya how to fix it so they can :)

    Has anyone dropped down from a 17 inch wheel on the sport model to a 16 inch wheel? Good?...Bad?...Ugly?

    I went to 16" on my sport. 16X8 0 offset with 4.5 backspacing. The problem with going to 16's is the chance of the wheel rubbing the caliper. Depends alot on the wheels and manufactor. Go to the wheel & tire forum and do some research.......

    When I had the rear leaf tsb done...the dealer also did an alignment. I wasn't happy with it. Took my truck to the shop that did my giant Dodge when I had it......my tacoma STILL feels squirly....wanders, etc.

    The numbers are set at:

    Camber: 0, 0
    Caster: 3/4, 1
    Toe: Heavy 1/16 in

    Shouldn't the Caster be closer to 2.5?

    oo not bad at all.. ride looks much better level! good luck on picking the wheels...the Generals AT2s were my first choice of tire.. when i first started looking for a tire they were all out of stock on the 265 size.. i believe they just started making them again this month so if your going that route i sudgest you make your move quick.. but then again that might have and maybe its not the case anymore..

    I got the Hankooks RF10s very similar and so far so good

    Sounds like they used a string and a tape measure. You should get it laser aligned. Your Caster needs to be over 2*
