From what I've heard it's good to drive around for a while and let things settle before shelling out the cash for a proper alignment. Honestly though if you follow the rules and get an alignment/balance/rotation every 5k it probably won't matter.
Mine was 1/4" nose high on the pside, 1/2" dside initially. I'm a little over 1000 since the swap now, I'm almost level but not quite. Honestly feel like it will settle to dead level when I get to 5000 miles. Word of advice, get ready to install this camber kit to be able to dial to Eibachs...
Honestly not worth taking a risk doing it yourself with non-industrial tools. These springs are kill-you-level strong. My buddy with an at home shop bought this just to help me do the swap:

Bring it to a shop with pro tools. That...
For what it's worth my buddy who recently sold his tire shop vouches for the X-AT. Says they are absolutely what he would go with right now if looking for something better than OEM K02s.
My buddy who recently sold his tire shop told me to get these when my K02s are done. He says they are a tier 1 tire in quality/performance without paying a premium for the name BFG. Also they have a more aggressive / less aggressive sidewall depending on which way you flip the tire. I think we...
I manage a bike shop that specializes in MTB. I'm stoked on this new Fox Factory tailgate pad that has a cutout for the camera.

We should finally get a couple this week, I'm planning on throwing it on my truck right away. I'd be glad to...
I spent about an hour digging through threads discussing different tires, my K02s have 9k miles and already look about half gone. Looking to try something different, more aggressive.
There were some useful nuggets scattered through different threads, but is there a post out there with...
I typically get my engine to 210, oil to 200 and trans to temperature 180 before I start pushing it. Typically takes 20 minutes on the highway. Is it a must to warm up or can I be more aggressive at colder temps?
Not sure how much it matters but the recommended camber is -.4 after spring install. My alignment shop couldn't quite get me there on the passenger side, I'll be installing a camber kit next time I go in.
My alignment technically needs a camber kit to dial I perfectly, but it's only off .1 degree. I've experimented with tire pressure, overall I like 36 front / 34 rear (SCAB).
What have you guys found as the ideal settings? I found the OEM balance sounded like I had no rear speakers at all, so I set my balance back a few clicks. EQ on our trucks is laughably bad, can't believe you only get treb/mid/bass with no sub settings.
One downside I'm already noticing after installing my Eibachs is going through tires faster. It's far easier to carry speed into corners as it feels so planted. I'm at 9k currently, I doubt my stock tires will make it to 20k.
I've had the truck for a year. Twice I've realized my phone wasn't connected to discover the trucks username and password reset itself. I then have to go in and change the UN/PW back manually. Has anyone experienced this? Wondering if it happens when the truck updates itself over my home wifi...
Hard wired a Viofo A119 V3 dash cam. I dig the always-on parking mode since I live in a apartment with a big resident garage. Hopefully I'll never need to pull data from it, but I'll certainly be covered if I do.
Agreed. I started to notice the center wear after 9000 miles. I then updated my settings to 36 FR / 34 RR. Definitely a noticeable improvement in ride quality.
+1 for the retrax and supporting freedom motor sports. Rick got my last order fired off in less than an hour from start to finish, some top tier customer service.
Agreed. I have huskys which are very similar looks-wise. The front ones completely eliminated the ol' tire shine sling onto the doors right after a car wash.
