Stock size rims/tires with small lift

[JMan689]

Need (well not really, but to get the wheels back in alignment i need it) a new suspension as mine is sagging horribly. I'm just going to throw on like a 2 inch lift but as my tires are new i want to know how it'll handle before those wear out and i can get some 31s?

If it's out of alignment, it will screw up your tires surprisingly fast. I know from experience If your tires are like this: /--o--\ in front, it will corner better, though Overall handling will be ok, it will just possibly be a rougher ride, and you will get worse mileage. How bad is your alignment?

/--o--\ And yeah it handles great right now, i drive it like a race car. I'm just worried about how wobbly it will be. My mileage might go up with it being properly aligned, and to keep tire wear minimal i rotate my tires at every oil change.

...actually, that is how ford trucks (ttb), including the first gen's alignment is suppose to look...my X was ... l--o--l before the alignment and that create's bad wobble and tire wear...

Really? Well then...

...just stop by an alignment shop and ask them...they generally can tell you how the ford is suppose to sit without even putting it on the rack...

...in fact, since i got my new alignment and new parts done on mine, i now have to fix the front brake lines as they now bind with the new, "proper" angle..

Yeah they said it was out of alignment. Then again they also stripped my oil drain plug and stole my lug nut key.
