So I went to firestone after work and got my truck aligned... damn I'm glad I did. It was way off! Bought the lifetime alignment like I did with my other truck. Think I had the 05 aligned 8-9 times so it's worth it. Gonna take the truck every two weeks for a month, so they can re-evaluate it as the truck settles intothe new springs. They gave me a $30 discount for being military and this being my second lifetime alignment purchase.

Not perfect, but much better than before. And like I said, have 2-3 more alignments in the not so distant future to bring it closer to perfect.

Awesome man! Did you have weight in the front seat or no?

I'm not sure, there was 3 technicians working on it, as it took them 1.5 hours lol. He said the truck was "Fighting them" lol. I saw them start it couple times and pull it out and back in to remeasure, and saw one of the dudes in the drivers seat a couple times on the rack.

Yeah, if you can get someone, or some weight that is equal to your body weight, and then they align it, it will be spot on when you're the only one in the truck.

Haha, yeah. Had a lot of Auto-x friends in college. Most people don't realize, but even that little bit of weight can cause the alignment to be off slightly when you're in the truck. I mean its not going to be crazy out by any means, but it will be there.

Neat. I've never seen alignment paperwork before. That lifetime thing is pretty cool, definitely sounds worth it.
