    I don't know anything about firestone, and personally wouldn't take my truck to them. But there's a shop called CarLife at Indian Bend and the 101 that does a great job. They charge between 80 and 100 bucks.

    He uses Firestone and has had good luck. He may be the only one though.

    I had the lifetime from firestone on my last truck. They did an ok job. They couldn't get it right with my truck after having 3 time in a row.

    I go to stewart tire in mesa now. Hes been in business for decades and does the alignments old school for ~$60. My truck handled perfect after he got done with it the first time.

    yeah I'll keep my MT's

    yeah a lot of people here havent had good luck with Firestone.. maybe I just dont care enough.. idk, but I have never had a real issue with them. their alignments may not be top notch as some others want, but they do well for me and it gets the truck driving right after a rough trail run or some modifications. My lifetime alignment has paid itself off at least 5 times over by now.

    My Monday has been good. Sent a few hundred rounds down range. Decided I needed more scope on the 308AR. Ordered a Nightforce 2.5x10-42. Should be here Wednesday and sight it in Thursday. Went and had a Philly cheese steak at G's.

    Now I'm relaxing, sucking on my fag stick, watching the wind storm :rofl:

    After calling around, I can't get it done at any shop till Wednesday at the soonest, so looks like the Highlander will be going on the trip north and seeing some dirt roads (FS 152C and 525 at the least)! I made an appointment at Firestone for Monday morning with the intentions of getting my UCA's and shocks swapped out this weekend.

    I know a lot of guys cringe at that, but I also know there are mechanics in those shops. In VA we had ALOT of Firestone shops, and a few of them had miracle workers in them! Like @Moose1988 my lifetime has been used AT LEAST a dozen times, probably more, and only once was I not happy, and the next day it was taken care of. I'll give em a shot since it's no longer a time issue, and after 6 years, I'm still using the life time warranty!

    Thanks for the input and references.

    I want the COs but I really want king not icon so I have to decide if I want to spend a little less than brand new an go with your icons or sack up an buy new kings for a few Hundo more. Plus with a GB coming up on them I may be able to get them on the low low

    I'd buy his icons. They are basically brand new.


    But then again brand new kings are sexy as fuck
