    Billstein 6112/5160's, coachbuilder spacer on driver side/ 20" rockstar wheels/ 33" nitto ridge grappers/SS Brake lines (or as most people write Break), Painted Calipers/Powercoated Tow hooks/pocket flairs/heated seats,bed leds/line-x liner/xtang trifold/tow mirrors/Stereo Work/Compustar Remote Starter/ retrofit Morimoto Minin H1 and switch back LEDs/ plenty I'm forgetting
    So I have a stump in my front yard that is approximately 12" diameter by 12" sticking outta the ground. (i was planning on cutting closer to the ground but haven't made the time yet)

    Last week i parked in a spot i don't typically park at the house and while leaving for work drove clean over that 12" high 12" round stump. Traveling at just outta park speeds (5 to 10 mph max) and being 5:30 in the morning I drove over it with the front left and rear left before I stopped the truck. Checked on the daughter in her car seat (she was actually smiling) and calmed my heart as I it was very unexpected. Kinda expected rim to be bent or tire damaged but both seemed fine.

    Truck appears to track straight, can't imagine anything is bent. Slight vibration at 55 mph but it was there before just not as bad as it is now (305/55/20 ridge grapplers). No pulling on highway just the slight vibration.

    the rebound after the first wheel cleared the stump made contact on the OEM step boards. Nothing seriously bent noted. (trucks on bilstien 6112s (top setting with shim on driver) and leveled in the rear)

    Should i be worried and get the truck aligned? or as my wife said "Isn't that what your truck is designed to do"

    Wish i had pictures. Its enough of a stump that had i done this in the wifes SUV it would have torn the front bumper and I could see it damaging the wheel.

    Perhaps i can get a picture this weekend.

    Might be worth an alignment.... Is it pulling at all? (left/right)

    Looks good, drives good, is good!
    Love the wife’s response by the way... I’d do it again just for fun (without the child in the back).

    Alignment checking it pulls. Other then that just balance and rotate the tires to get rid of the vibration

    You should be ok. Balance tires and watch tire wear for alignment issues.

    You could be this guy....

    The boat ramp doesn’t forgive mistakes, that’s for sure.
