Okay got forscan done and now my speedometer is accurate at both residential and highway speeds.
removed air from all tires taking them all down to 36 until I hear anything different from Nitto will keep between 35 and 40 but all matched. Left PSI mark default in forscan for same reason.
replaced lug nuts with shorties now center caps fit.
Alignment scheduled for Monday
And here is what I was referring to about not much clearance behind front tire. only turning though, wheels straight, plenty of clearance.
Looks great.
Also why are your tire side wall pattern different on the back compared to the front?

Good question. Answer = tire mounters paid no attention to the difference on sidewall patterns.... one side of tire lightning bolt (rear) other side no lightning bolt pattern.
Doesn't bother me enough to flip 'em but like looks of front better.
Just checked, drivers rear is only one mounted with lightning bolt pattern out..... if 2 and 2 could at least move to one side.... at least is not directional tread...

Glad it's on your truck and not mine. I'd have them fix it. My OCD would keep me awake at night knowing they didnt match. Looks good though! Some day I will put new rubber on my wheels... some day...

Me too!!! That is the first thing I saw then looked at the truck.

Down side to internet ordering.... i would need to ship back to have them fix.... or pay a local shop to demount flip, remount, re balance... and hope they use the black stick on weights instead of the silver stick on weights 99% of the shops use. I will inquire about what weights are used and cost when im at shop getting alignment done tomorrow. Who knows maybe if I complain to the dealer, they will at least reimburse me for the cost to flip and re balance.
Shot them a note asking what they can do to correct it. hopefully they just tell me they will reimburse me for local shop to take care of (assuming black stick on weights will be used)

Yep and looks like I will be having it flipped tomorrow. Alignment shop having issues with machine, so alignment tomorrow. Wheelsforless.com agreed to pay for remount and balance so I will have that done at alignment shop tomorrow... Looks like they will also be paying for me ordering black wheel weights because local shops around here only have the silver steel weights....

Personally, I would be looking for a shop to Road Force balance them, saving the amount of weights needed.

Hey guys wanting to get a level kit for the truck was wanting input I have searched through the reviews and this sticky and YouTube.
ive decided between the auto spring 2” or motofab 2” or 1.5”
I need to measure the difference to see which measurements are needed I do still want a slight rake
2016 xlt w/502a sport 4x4 5.0 Screw 5.5 bed
my questions mostly are;
do I reverse the orientation of the struts 180 on the top mount most videos do not show/tell u to
which material is better to use to prevent noise problems long term? Poly, steel, aluminum, etc?
obviously I know that a strut kit would probably be better, however since I am not looking for much more then close to level and cost is also a factor.
