Hey how did the alignment and lowering it a bit work out?

Lowed an inch, rides much better, as far as alignment it was ither have the truck drive straight and wear tires fast up front, or deal with a slight pull to the right and not wear tires. So I picked a slight pull and no tire wear. It's not bad. The 4x4 shop swore it has something bent, ither a controll arm or the frame is tweeted? But I checked everything out at my shop and seems straight... Truck Has a good rake, and had to trim alot of fender back just to turn these stupid wheels I bought.

Plan was to take the truck on vacation this weekend but trans lost 1st gear and reverse gear today... Idk what I'm going to do next. I emailed a shop that specializes in LS swaps and builds trans just for curiosity.

Thanks ! Definently stick with the 20x10, don't go any wider. Instagram gave me the illusion I could run this 20x12 with minor plastic trimming... Minor trimming my ass!

I bet your cleaning supplies bill is high. That's a lot of truck to wash.

Little update on the truck.
Got the trans rebuilt and replaced bank 1 o2 sensor. Since the rebuild iv been getting better MPG which is great in the wallet. New HD torque converter and bog warner bands ect... Ditched the tool box for now, will get a new one soon that's low profile. New Tool box and paint repair are next for this ol girl.

Also may do black headlight housings, custom grill with studs, and a LMc front bumper smooth with 2 fog lights that I will have Bedlined along with bedline the chrome stepS... Thoughts?
