Yes I am blowing off a little steam but I did learn something, .05 does make a big difference. Well I bought new Hankook tires for my truck from tires-easy.com - Búsqueda de neumáticos, lets jus say I will always get my tires from this place....sweet. Well my next adventure was the oh so dreaded alignment, let me start by saying i hav a 1-2 GF drop kit, wit bilstein L spec shocks, and belltech shock extenders. Now u kno where this is heading, check at a few shops n they said they cud not do the alignment, call my last option( National Tire & Bulls@$t). Well lets jus say the first alignment wasn't even close, so today I printed off the the L spec for the alignment took them to the guy n he still got it wrong. Manager comes out n say well we r within specs and I replied specs for who? A regular F-150 n he said yes, that is why this is all wrong was my reply, well he said u r going to eat up your tires if u change the specs. Well now its time to give him the run down, I tell him about the drop kit wit the shocks n shock extenders n then he said oh, now im furious cuz they had my truck for 4 hrs n they still got it wrong. Now I hav to go n tomorrow for these guys to try n get it right this time, the truck still has a slight pull to the left, so here r the numbers:
L R
-0.0 camber -0.4
6.8 caster 7.5
0.00 toe 0.04
-0.4 cross camber
-0.7 cross caster
0.05 total toe
Now do u feel my pain and this is after the guy said he can get the specs(L specs) I gave him real easy.

truck was SCARY at anything over 60 mph it just wanted to wander all over the place. Ponied up an extra $100 for getting it done at another shop with a hunter digital alignment rack, and they got it aligned DEAD NUTZ ON. Well worth the extra expense for the better equipment
