First....Nice D!! If I saw it in my rearview mirror, I would skootin' WAY right!! Second, your passenger side wheel looks alittle out of kilter there. Mine had the same kind of slant(?) to it (mine is a 4x2 though). The upper control arm bushings were practically shot. They are WAY to close to the exhaust manifolds. They were basically cooked and working their way out of the little metal enclosure. The dealer replaced them, both sides. Even after the alignment, they still tilted alittle. Of course the dealer blamed it on the oversized rims and tires (they are the same size as the R/T setup). I went to an alignment shop recommended by Discount Tire. They had it aligned perfectly in about 30 minutes. I think I'd check it out. Most shops wont charge to put it on the machine. Only if an alignment is necessary will they charge.

Regards,
Stephen
