The pb blaster can was empty I got a little bit on there but not enough I had a 4 ft breaker bar but still didnt budge them. If I wanted to I could throw it on the lift and break them loose but im not to worried about it.

i almost gave up too but then decided to try it one more time and just put all my weight behind it and cracked them loose i did pb them pretty good 2 or 3 times tho. and on a side note I'm hopefully ordering my 32x11.50 Goodyear MTR's with Kevlar tonight after my class!

yea i did i only drove it about 1-2 miles total without getting it done...mine pulled slight to the right and the steering wheel was off but that was from the tie rod ends but its a good idea to get it aligned or it will eat your tires up most likely and it is said to relieve a little stress from the different angles its at now. I got mine done at the dodge dealer down the street from my school for 53 bucks so i dont think thats to bad for the piece of mind.

While i was getting my tires mounted the guy put the truck on the rack and walked away. 20 mmin go by so i was like "screw it" I grabed the air hammer put whatever size socket it was on it and cranked those babies up! Got up there and measured real quick with a key chain tape measure. Poped down did the other side!
The mechanic working on the other truck just started laughing and i laughed with him. Long story short they didnt say anything and if they did i was just going to complain about how long it took.
They guy came out 30 min later and aligned it for free cause it took so long haha!
Twas a good day!
