I recently put new balljoints and tierods on my 96 k1500. It is lifted 9" wearing 35 1250 15 interco thornbirds
My problem now is getting it aligned. I live in the midwest east of the st louis and cant find anyone
that will work on my truck for a decent price. FS or madison service company tried a few times but the guy
said his sensor wouldnt hook up on this interco tire ive got on there but he explained alot to me and
i like that place now. I even considered putting factory size wheels and tires on it and having it aligned than
switching back. So yesterday farm service couldnt do it, so i called this GDS four by four shop. This was a mistake.
The guy answers the phone i asked him how much for an alignment he says "well it starts at 129 then we gotta check for
bad parts, this thing got a lift?" i told him about my balljoints and tierods, and he says well how about your idler and pitman
arm. That was enough for me i couldnt take it anymore. Idler and pitman steering arms are something i do myself.
I think this guy thought i was stupid because thats how he was treating me. I dont think i ever been so pissed over the phone.
Of course it has a lift im calling a "4x4" shop and i had just told him how big my tires were, also i told him i put balljoints and tierods
on my truck what makes this fella think i wouldnt know if my pitman arm was loose?
I am going to put some stock six bolt wheels and tires on it and have it aligned for cheap then put my mud tires back on there.
Theres also an at home way to align your truck with a tire pen and a tape measure and a monkey wrench.
One guy at farm service was real nice he explained how to get it real close from home.
I might wind up posting a write up on this if i go that route.
Anyone know anything about having oversized tires aligned??
