I know it will be a bit of a drive for you but the 4 Wheel Parts here in Austin does fantastic work with alignments and tire work. They have one alignment guy and he's been doing it almost 18 years now.

When I originally got my truck it had 35" BFG AT KO's on it with about 30% tread left and within 2 months it had eaten it to cords because of the alignment issue. Replaced the tires w/ 35" ProComp Xtreme MT's and had them align it. Night and day difference and I can let go of the steering wheel going down the freeway for almost a 1/2 mile before it nears the lane markers.

I stood outside and watched them align mine and it was not an issue at all. They align every truck they do a lift to, and I'm sure 99% of those have aftermarket wheels too.

That's exactly what I was wanting to hear. I may take you up on the borrowing your stockers offer. Please keep in touch. I will update you on what I find out from local shops. Thanks so much!! Just ordered the tires, and still have another 5000 miles on the Nittos. Not going to allign immediately, but soon.

Thanks so much, you have no idea how much this helps me. I am going to try to find a shop that can balance my current wheels. If that doesn't work out I will let you know.
