It does nothing to the chassis except take away the ugly stock "rake" appearance. It makes your CV and ball joint angles pretty bad, but you have a 4x2 so you dont have CVs. That shop is bustin your ***** for nothing.

Yeah, bastards. Really? So if I go to Ford with aftermarket wheels and tires and a leveling kit they'll do it for 50 bucks?

I mean it does change the front end because of how it sits, it was WAY out of alignment though I know a bunch of my friends go to one place, they all have lifted trucks and that's where they go.

Yeah, I helped my buddy do the bilsteins, and he had them compress the struts and then once we installed them back, he took it back and they aligned it

I got my truck place to match online price for those Coopers, I could get them for 667 to my door, and he matched that price.

Wow, I'm actually digging those wheels! I'm curious what they would look like with some street tires.

No idea man, but I absolutely love them! In the store they had a 17 and it looked amazing, and these are 20s, and wow they look 10 times better! I'm so happy

Now just gotta find a place to get an alignment and rotate and balance.
