    Looks nice, I would only do the spacers if the tires rub, if not just leave them alone.

    I was thinking of adding Billies as well at 1.75. Do you have to get it aligned?

    Any time you change/adjust the suspension you should get it aligned.

    Yes sir i'm running stock control arms. Thats why i went with 1.75" on the billies.

    I'm going to forget about the spidertrax and save for some wheels in the future.

    Thats good to know... I've always wanted a set of these but never could convince myself to pay the price for them. I was torn between these and the duratracs for a while but I just went ahead and bit the bullet... I'm very pleased with my decision!!

    The shop that installed all my stuff claims they were able to align everything within spec. But they also told me they couldn't get it aligned properly until they installed the 1" block in the back. My truck seems to be pulling to the right just a bit. I don't know if this is an issue or just typical when you put a slight lift and MTs on there. I didn't have any issues in previous trucks but always had ATs not MTs. I just don't want to start out with uneven wear on my new tires.

    Any input will help, thanks!

    Truck looks awesome! You should not have any pulling issues though especially at 1.75" lift. I've had my Billies set at 2.5" with stock UCA's and run 33" Mickey Thompson MTZ's for 5 years now and never had a problem with them pulling. Could be your alignment.

    Shop is claiming its not the alignment. They think it could be a bad tire that's making it pull to the right. I should know something today. Ill ask for my alignment numbers and post them.

    Certain M/T brand tires did that to me I want to say it was my trail grapplers, they did it for 1k miles or so, I'd say it was "road wander" after that thousand miles or so I had no issues with them. If your alignment is in spec and they didn't touch the rear it has to be the tires I'd say.

    If your alignment is in spec, then it could be "radial wander" from a defective tire. The easiest way to find out is to swap your front tires, left to right side, right to left side, and if it pulls left then its a defective tire. The tire shop will replace it. It happens alot with bigger tires especially mud terrains.

    Well I tried another set of Toyos and they are doing the same thing. Truck ride straight with stockers. Switching to BFG KM2s to see if that fixes the problem
