So got the truck aligned this morning at a local tire shop (Kal Tire, reasonably well known in BC for being a reputable shop).

They did a great job on the align, pointed out the following:
1) The steering was very tight, but even so there's play in the wheel. This is the steering gear, they said it was a low priority (I'm not worried about this ATM)
2) They pointed out that even with new components the bottom control arm is almost on the bump stop, hence worn torsion bars.
3) They pointed out that it sits nearly on it's overload springs.

Just wondering how often those components need replacing? We tow a 30' 5th wheel that puts about 1400lbs on the bed. So not super surprising. I'm planning on doing another round of maintenance after the summer and will get the torsion bars + springs (if they're needed). Am I safe to tow in this state? We're not going far and it's highway / nice roads the whole way this summer.

Thanks!
