    Couldn't do it after hours as i'm not trained on the tool and they don't like to take on the liability of that.

    If you're unable to fine someone to do it for free I'd still highly recommend the compressorless method. With a second set of hands it's not difficult in the slightest.
    That tends to happen if the alignment bolts are seized or starting to seize. I had to give mine a good kick to get them to swing free, so while I was at it I pulled off the LCA entirely, sanded the corrosion off the bolts, and covered them in anti seize. Just some good preventative maintenance.

    the price makes it interesting... but the inconsistent quality I've heard makes it not so tempting. I think this spring/summer I might be making my own

    Haha that’s the plan. Probably start the rear. I want something with a tire carrier that’s also easily removable in case I need to run with the tailgate down
