Thanks for the responses, I have a follow up question. Im getting the truck leveled monday. I was curious about its current ride height so I measured to the top of the wheel wells. The front measured at 37 1/2 and the back measured 41 1/2. Thats a 4 inch difference, that seems like a lot, is that right?

Time after time we get people in that want me to level their truck and align it, I do so. Then the next day I get a call sayin they have just got the new wheels and tires put on, and now the truck pulls.......... Pleeeeeeaaaassssee save myself and other unlucky techs the grief and deliver the truck that is to be aligned, with the new wheels and tires in the bed. Saves you time and in most cases money by doing the alignment once.

it happens all the time. whenever you push the stock suspension past its limits, you disturb the way its aligned as well. Some of the times when am alignment tech tells you that, its a cop-out, but most the time its true. Toyota tacos are really bad with it.

Thanks Man I guess for looks sometimes you have to sacrifice some functionability. Is it normally so bad that it makes the tires were really bad or just enough to eat at them a little and need to rotate often??
