After drop shock

After 1000 miles make sure you re-align your truck , coil spring's will settle changing the toe angle and it will start eating up the inside of your tire's.....

if you just drive the truck for 100-200 miles after doing the front drop, without an alignment, the truck should settle most of the way, and that few miles isn't going to cause any harsh tire wear, and saves from paying for 2 alignments

Josh, Yeah that's what I thought to and was told. I drove it around hard for about 200. Not the case, at least with mine...I believe that it has to do with the quality of the springs, as too how long it takes to settle. I had spoken with some race engineers at the Petite Le Mans last week and they agreed , its all in the steel and coiling process.

Hey DBl G,

How has your tire wear been with these specs?

I installed the camber bolts yesterday and will be getting the alignment tommorrow.
