I can't wait to get this settled, it's been an unsafe ride to work, good thing the alignment is in a couple of hours!

I would never put any miles on a freshly lowered truck until alignment is done. I dial mine in myself (& I'm usually pretty close except Caster) but still won't drive them until alignment. It tears up tires FAST.

For reference, I just bought 4 new tires for my new DD. My buddy mounted them up on new wheels & said 'just pull up on the rack & I'll mount them'. With the front suspension unloaded we did a quick pull test on everything & I definitely had front end parts that were loose/needing replacement. Instead of leaving the new fronts on, I opted to put the old ones back on the front until I got the front end rebuilt/aligned. Looks goofy w/the different wheels & old tires up front but it prevented an 'odd' wear pattern already started on my new tires.
