    I always have browns or good year by my shop do mine.

    After my accident I had brown try to adjust it with a bent spindle, rick at good year saw my wheel bent and told me to bring it in. Told him I already had brown do it. But he insisted, had his guys check it and he said it was straight! Brown might have the old school alignment machine, but they are good with it.and can set it to you desire

    Do you ever travel up to the Willowbrook area? There is a Firestone that does the alignments for Cutten Customs. I've used them twice, and both times have been good. Might be worth a try if you are in the area.

    Only problem with Brown's is that they do have the older setup, as you mentioned, and that setup requires a wheel that has an upturned lip on the outer edge in order for the laser to attach to the wheel. My wheels are lipless sob's, so Brown's is out for me.

    I've had good luck with my 3 yr alignments using NTB. They did mine on the 05 that had 5100s @ 2.5/LR UCAs/AALs. I go and get one every 6 months or so. The toe is only thing ever needing adjustment. Caster and camber always stayed put.

    D4d = Toyota. But if you must get a "manlier" truck with a v8, don't drop it

    Diesels last forever though. That's hard to beat.

    You could try use one of these ImageUploadedByTapatalk1365122217.528396.jpg and put your bike on top of the rack youve got. If it would fit. Or you could fab up something to make it fit/ fit on the rack :notsure:

    Dont have an example of my own truck but its like this ImageUploadedByTapatalk1365122288.585063.jpg

    Or get something like this
