So here’s a quick shot of the front end, got everything all cleaned up when I got home, tires rinsed off and grime cleaned off, but it was dark when I finished. So I’ll take some fresh shots in the morning off the stance. Old nitto tires:

Still had some a little tread left but I also didn’t want to push them, especially with how much I’m driving right now.

After level, alignment, and new tires:

Also while it was up on the rack for a test fit, we inspected all the front end steering stuff. Turns out my tie rods are all good. No play like I previously had thought. But pitman arms were bad again, so I had them replaced and Dan got me AC Delco replacement Pittman’s. So that’s all handled and I shouldn’t have to worry about front end stuff for a little while either. Which I’m also happy about!

Also I believe the bottom of my front bumper measured roughly 15.5” off the ground yesterday when I measured after pulling in the driveway. And 39.25” from top of the wheel well to the ground after the level kit. I’ll be curious to see if the front end settles down a tad after a few days. I’ll remeasure.

Very nice! Imagine it’s going to settle just a little. Tires & wheels look good. No rubbing? Or do you need to clearance a bit?
