Dusty Trails

I finally settled on a set of Centerline Vectors in 16x8, 4.5" back spacing and no offset with Goodyear Silent Armor Pro Grade tires in 265/75R 16. I had to trim the bottom rear of the valence and still need to tie back the lower front edge of the inner liner to eliminate rubbing (stock height). The rear of the wheel well was fine, even with Husky mud flaps. Many of the roads around here have tracks compacted into them from the traffic following the same path over time, and with less back spacing on the wheels, the truck twitches a little when running on the sides of those tracks. Other than that, it runs fine. The speedo is accurate now. It was reading 2mph fast with the stock 245's according to my GPS. We'll see what the new combo has done to my mileage over a few weeks. What I'm getting to is: Should I have the front end (toe and camber) reset to accomodate the new combo, and if so, is there a "good" shop in the Fresno/Visalia area of central CA that can do it. Many mechanics in the area are nothing more than glorified parts changers. I just wonder if there are still people that can align the front for the combo instead of just aligning to specs. Thanks.
