Finally got the alignment adjusted (thanks Bob@KSpeed) after putting new Bilsteins on all corners, raising the truck about 1"/1.5" f/r with shackles and heavy-duty torsion bars (in anticipation of that bumper and winch at some point).
Also installed a steering stabilizer and idler arm brace. Removed the side rails and RSB as well.
Have only got it into one situation where I had to back off - a steep washed out sand trail on Peavine where after crawling up about 50 yds I just could not get the angle to exit (shoveling would have been cheating). An LSD definitely does not equal a full lock, especially at low speeds.....my wife was looking straight out the passenger window at the side of the rut we were in - I was more worried about the mirror and paint getting trashed than anything else.
The kids love loading up and heading to the hills for an afternoon, and being able to drop the tire pressure to the low 20's for the bumpy roads makes it enjoyable.
Oh, great balance on the tires Bob, it runs down the highway smoothly now!
