Maybe I'm just not used to looking at laid out bagged duallies but isn't your toe-in way off? Wheels look like they're both aiming outwards like a lot of thread showing on your tie rods. Also looks like your directional tires are on the wrong side but could just be I've been huffing paint watching my HD's panels get color on the inside.

Ya they are ,put them on there and didnt realize it. they have to come off anyway so i just left it. It prob needs an alinement i had it down to bare frame so its prob off. I havent messed with the tie rods thats how they were when i got it. I just put the arms on to see how much i needed to shorten them.

when you drop down that much on stock arms, it brings the caster(wheel degree from front to rear)way negative as well as the camber. you arent hitting much, and i dont think you need to tub. just add a few alignment shims to the rear of the upper control arm where they belong and get the toe set at ride height and you will be good. a 1/8 thick shim will move the wheel forward a good bit. looks kick a$$ too!!! later, brian

when I did the black one, I cut the frame for the z at an angle, and when I raised the front frame, it moved the whole front clip forward. not very many people noticed that the wheels were centered in the fender opening when it was layed out. on a 265-40-22 I didn't tub the firewall either.

I just did mine and I moved the cab back one inch on the frame so my tires would be centered and that seemed to work for me also closed up the gap from cab to bed to half inch and just takin an inch out of front frame to make up for it when i drop it down never tryed it before but it seems to be workin fine if anybody has done this let me know what you think
