    Taking it to multiple people becomes a pain in the ass and aggravating for both parties many times working on the car.

    I would suggest when if at all possible let one person do the job start to finish....

    Idk man, I think its more in my head then anything else haha. Need to either find a matching 1st gen 16" taco steelie to replace the bent one or buy all new wheels. I replaced the u-bolts with the flip kit you gave me, dropped the axle loosened everything measured everything, hit everything with a big hammer and put it all back together. Steering wheel is still crooked and pulls to the right.

    Bent my center pin on the driver side leaf so replaced it with a random bolt I had that fit for now, need to buy new ones. May have also bent the stock shackle hanger so good thing I have the Archive Garage flip kit to install soon.

    To the eye it looks straight and even and leaving to assume its the front end alignment. But need an alignment to check rear thrust angle to see if I actually did any movement to the rear.

    Then the question is, do I install the shackle flip and get new wheels prior to doing an alignment. Don't know if having 1 out of spec backspaced rear wheel will affect an alignment.

    alignments performed on our truck are the two fronts only...

    I would take those spacers off and sell them...

    I can lend you a set of wheels for the alignment and see how it goes, will help rule out the wheels and tires before making any purchases...

    Yeah, but they can also check the thrust angle on the rear axle, no adjustments can be made but can tell you how off it is, if it is.

    Yeah, i've been wanting new wheels anyhow. Nothing crazy, thinking some alloy pro comps for $100 a piece. 4wheel parts has a great deal on them right now and free shipping, set of 5 for less then $500 shipped. But I may take you up

    Spacers will more then likely be coming off.
