Thanks Jerry. I think I read here that the 5.5 inch wheels (which I have) align correctly, and the 5 inchers need 1/4" shims to get the wheels perfectly in line with each other. I will check that at some point for fun, but Meeni had this issue nailed. I just got back from a test ride, and I am good to go. Now I know what these things actually steer like* :-).
