    @KTM_AJ421 I just found your truck picture in my thread about my tires and wheels. If you want some black nerf style running boards like your chrome ones, I ended up with two extra sets for a double cab

    One has a small dent that really isn't bad. Other pair has an even smaller dent, but they still replaced them and told me to keep the old ones

    I tried to show the small dent in these pictures, but it was hard to pick up at night. It is very small. It is still on my truck right now because I havent even bothered to put on the replacement yet

    That's what I was hoping to hear since that's what I have.

    As I said in the other thread, I believe the issue was that last inch of lift by putting the 2883's on the second perch of the 5100s just makes it a little too stiff for me

    Seems the pull to the right is from the caster being notably different on each of the front wheels


    Both of these issues will be corrected when I replace the upper ball joints, install the new Dobinson's on the bottom perch, and the alignment shop then sets the alignment correctly on both sides
