go to a place with a good hunter DSP laser alignment system and make sure you ask if the have the proper wheel adaptors......last time I had mine done it took the guy 3 hours to meet my criteria of specs i handed him.

Mine look the exact same way. I've never had it aligned.

Take your truck to 5 star alignment to get your truck aligned. They are in Aventura right off of Old Dixie Highway and NW 183rd street (apprx 185 or 186 st). I had taken my truck to 3 places prior with no luck on a pulling and inside wear problem. Once I put new Nitto's on, I was determined to get the truck aligned properly. An yes, once I had the Roush drop kit installed, I had the truck aligned again (although it was after about a hundred miles and the alignment shop said that the inside of the tires had worn in that little of time).
31Charlie,
Live and learn, I guess. Now put those tires on the rear and do burnouts until they are just about to blow. Then change them

Now some vehicles are set to have .5 to -1.5* camber, but if its out of spec, it can cause a pull. And you will definetly see it pull if one side is out more then the other side is.
I got in a big arguement with "goodyear" gemini service shop, b.c they "aligned" my vehicle after I lowered it, warrantied it for 12 months, 12000 miles, and i went 7 months and 6500 miles, and my alignment was all F'ed up, and my tires which were almost new at time of enitial alignment. And my tires were rated and are warrantied to go atleast 70,000 miles. And right now ive gotten about 12,000 miles. Needless to say, i dont trust them anymore, and no im aligning my truck myself at the school's auto shop. Since im in a suspension/steering class.
