Try it out, and watch the tire wear. You will never get an alignment shop to set your truck up just for you, they will always go to factory spec. (sorry Doc, there may be some exceptions) If you want it to fit you, you'll have to do it yourself.

I took your advice on this and am very happy with the results. The "turn in" is improved and it doesn't push as bad going in. If tire wear becomes an issue I'll just have to figure out a way to deal with it. I wouldn't say that that it reacts VERY quickly at speed...lol, but it does react and there aren't any issues because of it.

When I gave my truck over to the alignment tech, I gave him a file card with the specs I wanted. When he balked at setting it that way, I told him he could set it to my specs or not get paid. He complained that he'd never heard of such a thing, I told him we learn something every day. I made sure to go back a few days later and compliment him on the job he had done.

I want to thank you again for for being willing to share your knowledge with all us peons out hear.

Thanks,
