Was at Firestone waiting to pay for the alignment and the guy comes back in starts in with the up sell. Your truck needs new struts. Struts? I say. Yeah, the front end is ridding very low, is it lowered? No. It's almost touching the bumpstops. Well it's stock and the torsion bars do the lifting? I then have to explain the difference between shocks and stuts to the guy. Paid for my alignment and went on my way.
So I got an alignment today

2000 Ds sit where they DO just touch the front bump stops. You were correct to go on your way.

lowered guys just cut the bumpstops down then? I want to go down an inch but there's not much room.

Not quite ready to lower it yet and my alignment was waaaaaaaay off! So bad that I had a blow out from inner tread wear. So, once I put the new "to me" Goodyears on (I found a 10 dollar off coupon), I got it done ASAP.
I want to get new shocks before I drop it, get some blocks for the rear (probably the factory "blocks" from a Dodge Ram), and possibly new U-bolts.

When I first read this thread, for some reason I though it said:
"So I got an ailment today" :bugeyed:
