    Roger.

    How crucial is an alignment after the swap? Did you get one immediately?

    SUPER critical. I had so much toe in and camber that I had to make adjustments to safely get to the alignment shop but I previously had a spacer lift that got removed. So yours may not be nearly as bad.

    Hmmmm, it's going to be kinda a long run from my installers place back to where I live.

    Maybe I will try and schedule one closer to where it's all getting done. Thanks man

    It's pretty easy to tell how far off you are and like spruce said most likely if you're only doing spindles and nothing else you will just have some toe in. That can be gotten really close with a tape measure and an extra set of hands

    They were & still are set at 1.75, I later added 1/4" Toytec spacers. I want to max them out to 2.5 then I'll be at 7"

    Yeah stock coils. They feel ok but I haven't put my sway bar back on yet.
    The dakar pack is a little stiff for my liking but I knew it would be. If it wasn't my work Truck I would have went allpro no doubt. Either way the foxes control the stiff pack well enough. I'm happy.

    Thanks! I'm pretty sure it boiled down to the tech trying to get every setting adjusted all at once instead of making small adjustments and doing the order,camber,caster,toe. Needless to say I think I'll stick to performance shops and just pay the extra $30 or so next time. I'm still not sure if I'm happy with it. They could have gotten more caster and they didn't give me a printout.
