I got my truck back from the shop!!!!!!

[jdrake19]

I got it back wednesday about 4:30. The place that put my new frame on must have cranked the t-bars when they put crap back on. It is about 1 inch higher in the front than it was. Rides like S**T. I just left it cuz i'm getting new keys put on tomorrow.

What happend again?

[jdrake19]

the Wife sidewinded into a curb and broke and bent frame/front suspension crap. $7,100 worth of crap.

wow that's alot of damage

truck is ready to get a lift underneath it :bowtie:

[bcubed]

So there was no body damage? did you get new front wheels and tires?

From your pictures it looks like you have a bad case of positive camber, the shop should be shot for setting your truck up like that, did they even have an alignment performed? it definately needs one.

how are keys going to make it ride better??

[jdrake19]

I thought they made it so there wasnt as much tension in the front end...but thinking about it it would just make more. My friend had keys put in and said it rode like it did before. Hmm...Maybe after i get it aligned it will ride better. The body damage was very minimal. I got 2 reconditioned wheels and had to get 1 new tire. It isn't matching but i told the guy i was getting new tires friday anyways so dont spend the money on a new set and let me put it towards the tires i wanted.

Getting new keys just allow you to crank your tbars further than the stock keys do.

[jdrake19]

Uh oh...Is there any way to make the tires strait up and down? Im having it aligned tomorrow after the keys get put in. Crap, glad i just paid $1100 for tires and keys just to have my truck look like this \\ //.

If they havent aligned it, its common for you to have positive camber. They'll fix that when they align it for ya :D

[Eisenfaust]

Sell it and buy a new one. I know this isnt always an option but IMO after a truck is fucked that bad (bent frame) its never quite the same.

They didn't straighten it, they replaced the whole thing ..... but if it were me, I'd want to see the old frame so I know they really did the work :D

Tell them to fix your bed, it doesn't look like its aligned right to me?

[jdrake19]

I noticed that too Kyle. That bugs the crap out of me too! I was always so proud that my bed was even too! I hope they can fix it, i tried sitting on it, no go. I get it aligned at 2 today so at least i can feel a little better, even if it still sits \\ //

Thank ya'll. Jake
