    I put off getting a re-alignment mainly for the $$$ but i also had this question. Would the re-alignment differ any with new tires? Or...i guess the easiest way to ask, do i need to wait for the new tires to get put on, then get it aligned, or can i just go ahead and do it before? i don't know if a bigger tire will affect it

    meh some ppl will say you dont need tires to get it aligned..others will say you do. I think as long as you get it aligned now and get the new tires rotated and balanced your good.

    The alignment machine mounts to your wheels. New tires should make zero difference.

    well...ima mechanic and i haTE to do an alighnment then have them got new tires and complain about pull or whatever....its better to get the tires first so it can be aligned with the tires your going to run.....kinda like aa ustom thing,....if you change tires the camber and toe can be different depending on the tires and sizes....

    Well awesome, while i was at the tire shop, i got a buddy that works there to look over the front end and see if anything needs tweeked or replaced. And sure enough, my ball joints need replaced bad. Bad enough that i don't even feel comfortable driving the truck to work and back.
