Got any one you can barrow some more ideal wheels from?

I really figured we would see some bending. Still could partly be worn tierod ends thought.

Not that I know of. I might check Craigslist and see if I can get some stock ones for cheap. The tie rod ends are new. I replaced them this year.

Did you ever figure out what keys this thing has in it? IMHO, until it has stock keys in it, anything else is pissing in the wind.


When I watch that video I really think Crenshaw's bit about the thing being aligned to low is big to.


Yes it has stock keys. I got it aligned after I lowered it and put the nitto's on it. Maybe I should set toe out a bit like some have mentioned.

Well, if your at bolts out stock keys, you have as little preload on your bars as you are going to get, your truck is going to up travel XX" no matter what. Me personally, I would change the toe until I knew It wasn't going to get any better with the wheels on it before you spend the money on wheels.

That's what I plan on doing. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Soooo I looked under the truck the other day, when I finally got some free time, and looked at everything and noticed that my left torsion bar bolt was cranked up like 5 turns and right one was at 2?? Before I took the truck in for alignment I lowered them all the way down. Why would they even mess with the torsion bars?

Well if the bars are cranked you can't get proper alignment, not enough adjustment, so I would assume to low would yield a similar result. IIRC the drivers side needs more tension due to the fuel tank for the truck to sit proper...
