Got my new tires in!!

Well I just got in my new Nitto 555's in. I am not sure if any of you read my post a couple of days ago but...I was having a serious problem with shaking at about 60-65 mph and just a pretty terrible ride with my previous tires (Goodyears front - Nitto DR's back). I was having uneven tread wear, ect. I have been told on this board that the truck being out of line is what caused this problem and that these trucks have a problem with alignment. This is my question to you guys....I am taking the truck to get the tires put on tomorrow...What should I tell them about the alignment, ect? I have heard some of you talking about some "camber bolt kit" or something? Should I ask them about that? What does it do exactly? Any other suggestions please let me know because I want my truck to drive good again, I am tired of the shaking and buying tires all the time. THANKS!

A new set of F1's fixed issues similar to what you are having with your 02 on my '01...

My alignment was within spec, and kept wearing the inside of the tread on my F1's, the truck also pulled to one side. It was a weird issue with the F1's, and once replaced, truck drove straight as an arrow.

They will need to install a camber kit to align it.

Do a search for "napa camber" Should hit what you'll need...

Would the alignment place have these 'camber kits' in stock?

Some alignment shops will have them, just depends where you go. When I got my Mustang aligned, they had to use cam bolts, but happened to have them in stock.
