    I thought you had tie rod extensions? Would they not work? Sounds like you’ve got a plan though to get it fixed up

    I do have the extensions - However I only have one side in right now. On Monday I’m tearing everything apart to make it all work. The alignment is SOMEHOW spot on, just an upside down steering wheel hahaha

    They sent your truck off the alignment rack with an upside down steering wheel :confused:

    Honestly I was watching a Youtube video of how to do an alignment while doing it and getting help from them and by the time it got to steering I said fuck it since I know I'm going to be back for an alignment next weekend

    I also wonder why such a big difference in your caster, maybe bent spindle

    I pull hard to the right no matter what I do. So I have to offset caster to keep the right tire forward and left back so I can go straight

    I'm here for the memes
    My caster is set at 4.7 and I don't even got LT.
    Honestly, it seems like if you get that 2nd tie rod extension in and good alignment, you should be fine.

    Can't pull caster that high. I got 4.9 degrees but had to dial it back because of the UCA hitting the reservoir line. Thanks though I'll keep it in mind, the alignment is near perfect.

    You're going to damage your suspension if you leave that limit strap as it is in the photo.

    You can adjust the reservoir position and twist the reservoir & then tighten it again to turn the hose the way you need it to help clear the UCA. If that doesn't work you can completely move the reservoir somewhere else.

    Yeah it'll be a while - I'm driving around with it however I can't turn more than 2 rotations, so I'm making 5 point U-Turns

    CV’s are busted. Funny enough, my CV boots also rub my shock mount...discovered that one today hahaha.

    The spacers which go from the shock to the tophat, I’ll send you pictures tomorrow!

    Me 3 with pull to the right. It’s not a hard pull but just enough for me to notice it. After 2 good alignments, idk, might just be a symptom of these lifted trucks.
