    Like Chris said, not a must. But it will put more stress on the factory parts and might wear 'em out quicker.

    Get LR UCAs if you're on a budget. You want em trust me. They've never been able to align my truck. Put the camburgs on and they at least did better. I'm going on for another alignment cause I fucked a tie rod, gonna have em do my wheel bearings too cause I'm sick of the damn truck. Rip wallet

    Officially set. We are getting Chad's truck high beginning 830am this Saturday the 24th of September. If anyone would care to be witness to the occasion, feel free to let Chad and I know, and will make room for the extra company.

    I had my truck aligned at 5star Auto. They are the cheapest I could find and they did a decent job.

    They are closed on the weekend though.....

    I mean there are the usual chains which are open on saturdays. I know NTB works with custom specs (charge extra though).

    You could have it done at one of their locations.

    I appreciate it. Chris had recommended me somewhere but I can't remember where. Also hoping to go somewhere that has a location up north (get it done) and a location down south (in case I need another one)

    When you're constantly breaking stuff and installing new parts, Firestone lifetime alignment is the way to go

    EW no, not firestone. NTB has a good alignment program and has multiple locations. There's a guy named Andrew at the Lakeline Sears that aligned mine and got it done right the first time. He even torqued everything to exact spec. Sears also has a good alignment program with an option for lifetime alignment. There is also a place called Speedy Align, I've heard one of the guys that works there is also a member of GATOR, the location on the north bound side of 183 somewhere near Lamar. They also have multiple locations, unsure about their alignment programs.
