The heck with the alignment, tell us about the lift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is
good to know 32's fit.....but hoiw about at full suspension compression, any
rubbing? How much did they charge you to put the lift on? How long did it
take?? Seriously though, try going to the larger national chain tire shops.
I checked around for when I do my lift and all of my local NTBs can balance
tires upto 35", something alot of shops cant. They can also do front end
alignments on vehicles with tires upto 35's. I know what you are talking
about concerning the 'rim protectot the new KO tire has in its design, but
it should not be a problem at all.
