Truck Front Levelling Fundamentals.
Most truck owners choose to level or elevate the front of their stock truck to match the height of the rear, typically increasing the front by 2 to 2.5 inches. This can be achieved by purchasing complete spring struts or spacers to add to the top of existing struts. Following this modification, an alignment is necessary to restore proper tire geometry. However, in some cases, the adjustment on the lower control arms may max out, preventing the achievement of correct geometry. The solution lies in new upper control arms that enable the ball joint to properly angle within the control arms. When ordering a levelling kit, it is essential to inquire about the need for upper control arms. Failure to restore proper geometry can result in premature wear on expensive tires.

What can I say, MY CUSTOMERS ARE THE BEST!!!
I had an amazing spring season and now I can settle into my slower summer pace. Time to get my road bike 🚴‍♂️ out and pedal my ass off to stay in shape for tire changing in the fall. I keep a few sets of the following sizes in stock but can still order on request.

This machine is my livelihood. Looks alien-like with its 2 side helper arms but will do 98% of rims/tires out there. Biggest rims I’ve done are 22”, biggest tires I’ve done are 35”, lowest profile attempted are 30 series, run flats no problem and never a mark on customer’s rims. Other adapters to do small lawn tractor tires, trailer tires, ATV’s, etc.

I have interacted with numerous customers over the past nine years, with 95% being regulars I see twice a year and when they require tires. Conversely, I have learned to tactfully decline service to the remaining 5%. My most negative experience was with a customer who visited my shop after initial contact via Facebook. Following a 30-minute consultation, I provided him with price quotes for various winter tires and rims, and we agreed on a set price. I subsequently ordered and assembled the tires and rims, and installed them on his vehicle. However, he then expressed dissatisfaction with the price and engaged in a 20-minute argument, while my next appointment waited. I offered a $25 discount, which he accepted with a wide smile, and he promptly paid. After his departure, I questioned the viability of my business due to the negative impact of the encounter. Notably, this individual returned the following spring, claiming the tires were defective. Upon inspecting the tires, I found no issues, given their relatively new condition, with only five months of use. He then requested complimentary summer tires to replace the allegedly faulty studded winter tires, citing his need to drive to Ontario after receiving his residency papers. I declined his request and asked him to leave my premises. I have come to realize that I do not need customers with such negative attitudes.

Yesterday, a customer came to the shop for a new set of tires due to unusual noises from his vehicle. He suspected a broken belt or damaged tire, but he repositioned the tires and it did not resolve the issue. The customer noted that the tires still have sufficient tread and he is planning a trip next week. I suggested that a wheel bearing problem may be the root cause and recommended a test drive to confirm. During the drive, I instructed the customer to turn the wheel from side to side, and the noise became louder when steering in one direction and there was a constant humming sound. I believed that the noise is characteristic of a wheel bearing issue rather than a tire problem. I advised the customer not to buy new tires and get the wheel bearing looked after.
(Update: customer contacted garage and indeed front left wheel bearing was bad).

I’ve changed thousands of tires over the last 9 years and this door hinge is the strangest cause of a flat tire I’ve ever come across!!!! Some other causes of flat tires that I’ve come across are nails, screws, a screwdriver, razor blades, sharp chunks iron, wood and jagged stones!!!! For tire change overs I’ve found, dead mice, a dead bat and a hornets nest!!! The most disappointed customer was a guy who bought a drug car at auction. He stood over me while I changed each tire expecting to find a tire full of drugs. He was bummed that nothing was in the tires!!!!

So in order to balance a wheel/tire on the balancer, all the dirt from inside the rim has to be removed. I earned my money today cleaning 25+ pounds of dirt from a Subaru.
