    Yeah I had an alignment done...but it could not get to factory specs because of the lift and stock UCA's....now i should be able to get my alignment back to spec.

    I just told the truth. I said that I needed the UCA's to get the alignment right. I told her the new tires might wear uneven. She knows how much the tires cost....She doesnt want me to have to buy new tires after only a year due to uneven tread wear. hahahahah it worked!

    I'm not gonna take the mud flaps off. Upstate NY roads are crap. The winters are super bad. The roads are full of salt and sand in the winter. I don't want to destroy my paint. Also, I didnt go with the TC UCA's because of the Uniball being exposed to the elements. It's a different world up here. I can't get away with the same stuff u can in Florida.

    Plus the Light racing UCA's were 2 hunj less. I like the idea of the sealed ball joint and no maintenence. I know I will have less travel with the cheaper UCA's but I don't off road much at all. I go hunting in the fall on some seasonal roads but that is it for offroading

    My UCA's are in. I have an apt to have them installed on Friday. And another alignment. I hope this solves my alignment issues. The truck has been wandering right and it's driving me nuts. Can't wait until friday!

    Wow, that sure it a huge strip of wheel weights I see on that closeup of the driver front. Truck looks great, and I applaud the choice to put the white letters in!

    Yeah i went all the way and set em at 2.5.........yeah that is a lot of weights. I had them mounted and balanced at sears and then re-balanced at the dealership after I noticed all those weights. my top tech said they were balanced good. i guess i have to live with all those weights. the main thing is that my alignment gets corrected and that happens friday. i hope I'm done after that.
