    Just get an alignment, thats all you need to do. and you should do it everytime you drastically mess with the torsions, with about a 3 inch drop theres hardly going to be any uneven tread wear. doubt youll even notice it

    Haha is that what youve been worried about this whole time man? just drop it, and after you drop it, drive it around town for a day to let the suspension settle before the alignment. and then youll be good.

    I was just worried about tire wear. I drive about 100 miles a day so I would go through a tire so fast if it was cambered.

    you have to losen the two bolts underneath the truck. theyre below the front of the cab. if that makes sense. i know this is kind of late, hope you found them already though. search, i know there is a thread on this
