    Still rides great, a little more responsive since my old shocks were worn out. I don't want to affect ride quality at all since I daily the truck. I can't own 5 vehicles that all ride rough. Lol

    Did you mean alignment?

    Lol

    I'm unfamiliar with overload, what is that specifically?

    Ackerman is how much the angle between the front wheels changes when you turn the steering. So when the steering is straight, the wheels are only 1~2 degrees in (toe in measurement). Turned at full lock, the inner wheel will usually be "more turned" than the outside wheel, so the angle between them might be 5 degrees out. This is done intentionally because the inside wheel will trace a smaller circle than the outside wheel in a turn. This is the Ackerman.

    And I upgraded my stereo finally too. The old cassette deck wasn't cutting it. I cleaned every part of my dash when it was disassembled. It was really dusty.

    I've been searching the yards for a clock for the last 8 months, no luck yet!! I hate no having a clock.
