    I'll be changing my front lift components and installing LR UCAs this weekend. What alignment shop do you all use for dialing in your Tacoma's with aftermarket UCAs? I've used Network alignment before but would rather go to a place that you all have used and would recommend. Thanks in advance!

    Big O on McDowell between Hayden and Scottsdale (don't go to the one on McClintock and University!) did a great job on mine after I took it into them. They even let me watch the guy align it while I was waiting around.

    Make sure the steering wheel is straight before you leave ;)

    Oh and welcome to TW!

    I went to Bullet Automotive in Tempe just off smith by Tempe Marketplace. They did a good job and a very fair price... The guy Eddie even had me come back a month later to double check everything stayed in place at no extra cost.

    So far not too happy with Shuman's. He wouldn't do the specs I wanted, said "he's been in the business long enough to know what's right". Also, now the truck is pulling to the right, so I have to go back and have them check it. Of course when I called to bring this issue to his attention, he blames the tires....but they are brand new as well.

    I told him to try and get close to where I wanted them (per your recommendation).

    Camber: Left .3, Right .4
    Caster: Left 2.5, Right 3.0
    Toe: Left .08, Right .02

    I'm going back in at 3:30 today to have him look at it again.

    Thats not bad, but they really should get the camber closer to 0*.....Your paying them to do a service. Get the name of the guy that did the alignment please.
