Definatly get the alignment done asap, I waited a couple days and between level and alignment my truck would not react well when hitting puddles at freeway speed (poured all week). not safe in seattle. Oh yeah, cheapest around here i found was les schwab for $55 in redmond, they did a great job and i was very toed in.

I have an old style Daystar 2 1/2" kit that's been in almost 4 yrs with no problems. Clear's 35's with these wheels with no rubbing.

Well thank you very friggen much. I must've come back and looked at this pic 10 times in the last day. I finally broke down a few hours ago and ordered a 2" kit myself. I have the same white/gold Lariat paint and wheels, so now I want that look.

Here's the before...



My Nitto mudders are arriving next week, so I'll get it all done at once and post up the after.

its actually pretty easy to do if you have the know how. I just put a 2.5" on my 06 f150 supercrew and you will love it, it will make you want 33"s so be warned haha the only problem ive had so far: the top control arm is going to be at a really abnormal angle and look scary dont worry about it ive had no problems with it yet. also it will put a wierd angle on the upper ball joint! which eventually is going to wear it out. o well right it looks better! and ive had alot of excessive wear on my front tires on the outsides so be ready. today i had my truck in the garage and i was rotating my tires and noticed the nut on the upper ball joint had backed off all of the way to the bottom and was ready to fall off so be sure you use a torque wrench and torque them to 85lbs with loctite when i re-tightned it today i went 90lbs with loctite. if you do it be sure to check it about 150 miles after install and then again at 300 then 500 and so on until its obviously not moving. good luck it will look great and start saving for 33"s bc ur gonna want them!!
