    Accidentally posted this in the trading post thread too, but yeah I just got my new Duratracs in today as well as my LR UCAs, do you guys know of good place that will mount and balance the tires, install the UCAs, and do an alignment? I'm in Englewood

    He pulled out off of pearl turning right i was going east bound on hampden and bam. He said he didn't see me in that lane. I tried to swerve but there was a trash truck in the center lane. Yeah the tire and sliders got it bad. My tire is leaning in. It's going into the shop tomorrow.

    One more Q about my centering pin. Jace your input would be best since your king toyota lol.

    So the day on the trail when I pushed my axle back to the same spot and tightened the u bolts the truck was fine. And Its only my rear pass side thats off. So my q is, can I drive my truck like this till monday? I work 9-9 pm every day till monday. Obviously I have been driving my truck like this since I broke my spindle a few months ago. I even did two trails like this not knowing anything about a center pin. I always thought you just lined the axle up and tightened the U bolts lol. Shows how much I thought I knew about my lift. From looking at the rear end, you cant even tell its off. The tires have plenty of clearance on both sides before they hit the wheel well. It even looks center on both sides.The truck is also driving good. But if you look underneath next to the U bolts. you can obviously see its knocked off just short of a quarter inch on that one side. I tightened the bolts extra tight so it shouldnt move, and the springs are still stacked prefectly straight up and down. High Country 4x4 has the pin I need and can get it friday if i can get outta work early enough.

    Thanks for all the help guys. Its just bothering me now that I noticed its off again.

    id say if you've been driving on it like that then go for it risk it. My only worry would be the other pin breaks, then ur really screwed... but if thats what u gotta do then thats what u gotta do u no?

    Ya I know. The last two trails I took it easy and slow.Probably a good thing since my pin was broke. Finally figured out the skinny pedal isnt always a good thing. lol. With my new tires and wheels, sliders in two weeks and skids in the next few months. Im gonna have to take care of my new stuff.
    Dear TACO, sorry for un needed abuse. I promise to take it easy as long as nothing breaks. lol

    Will cause tire wear but wont be noticeable in that short of time. Just get the pin before pulling the spring apart so you don't have to do it twice. You could use some blue lock tight to keep the u-bolts from loosening up if you like. Don't use red till you know its set how you want it.
