Default alignment

I got a 4 wheel alignment for $74 after I lowered my truck back down to stock after cranking the bars. Thought it was kinda expesive went to Mavis. The only tire that was crowning really bad was the passenger side rear. So they moved the rear to front and front to back. The reason for it I guess was they said they couldent get one of the lug nuts off the driverside rear becase of some problem. ( guy said the same thing when I got the tires installed at a different shop 3 months ago ) Anyway so they rotated the passenger sides but kept the driver sides after the alignment. So I should be ok right cus the passenger side rear was the only one in bad shape... besides the tires were just put on 3 months ago and theres only 1800 miles on them.

Also did I Fu#$ up by not telling them about cranking the bars back down? I did the best I could to bring them back down to stock height but im sure it wasent perfect compared to before I touched it

74 bucks sounds about right to me. I personnally would have told them about the bars, but that is just me.

Your tires will be just fine! Don't worry! And the fact that you didn't tell them about the Tbars is no problem! They aligned it with them where they are now, so you have nothing to worry about! You should be good to go! Might want to get that sticky lug stud replaced though! Sounds like it has a bad thread! don't want it snapping off during the next tire change! Or even worse, don't want to try and get it off with a tire iron on the side of the road if you get a flat and not an impact wrench!

Sorry for the hijack... Dodgenitto, do you reside in Leadville? We have a condo in Vail and visit Leadville every now and then.

If the alignment guy was worth his salt, he checked the ride height and adjusted the bars himself.

Either way, he adjusted the alignment and all is good now.
