    front half shaft replacement before or after alignment?

    I'd jump on that deal when I have the need for even 70% tread. It could be out of round of flat-spotted from sitting if it grabs on one side. I've gone over some pretty big rocks and logs off road, much bigger than any pothole I've seen at speeds faster than I probably should have been going...

    front half shaft replacement before or after alignment?

    About 30k now 27k 2.5 years ago when I got it. Not sure how much one shim will do to pull the tire in.

I can deal with the front and now that I’ve added the winch it’s probably close enough. While I’m in the middle of painting my frame I pulled the...
