Thanks for the input. I'll ask for the alignment printout. There have been multiple issues going on with the RT that have and continue to reveal themselves. I did a terrible job inspecting the RT before purchase. Not sure about the alignment as the tires had been shifted around. All 4 tires had adequate tread and no classic uneven, out of alignment wear. The fronts were from 2012 and rears were 2017. The front passenger was on the newer style oem steel wheel with a different offset, none of this noticed during purchase inspection. The spare was covered and turned out to be on the correct steel wheel and the outside edge was worn uneven an obvious alignment concern. I think the spare had been on the front passenger location. I knew at purchase time I was going to replace the tires as they were an off brand and I have always run LTX Michelins on my Chevy trucks and knew that I would need to align the RT as part of tire replacement. The shocks are also a thing I have always replaced on the Chevy Trucks. I always used Rancho 9000's but these are not available for the RT. The Bilstein's thanks to all the positive input on the forums were an easy choice. Breaking off a lower front shock bolt and the low clearance issues led to the rebuild of the entire front end. Older threads on this Forum with the addition of the current posts have guided and informed choices. Again, I wish to thank you all for the gift of these forums.
