    Some really cool shit
    Should have paid more attention, but as I had lived near one of the better alignment shops I did not.

    So, now that I'm officially a part of the Sac area Tacos where do I go for a quality front end alignment?

    Rack doctor in roseville is well versed with lifted trucks. I have a lifetime alignment with firestone. Its a hit or miss. The senior tech, ivan is pretty good. This would be the firestone on stockton blvd

    Be nice if Firestone had a consistent policy on lifted trucks. The nearest one to me said "no lifted trucks"...fuckers.

    I have a feeling that if there were a consistent policy, it would be no lifted trucks.

    Stellar Built is pretty good. They were able to align my Lexus with no problem.

    i heard they were good. I must have just had an off day. I asked for max caster and they took almost 3/4* off to keep it in ‘factory’ specs. Drove me to buy poly performance fixed alignment tabs and go back to my Firestone lifetime for “toe and go’s”. Never got around the place @Fernando recommended in Sac, heard good things.

    Damn. Those alignments aren't cheap... so I cant imagine paying for one and then feeling shitty about it. That would suck.

    Just picked up something similar, 333 Fab eliminator plates.
    Figure this will be the best way to go to stop worrying about my alignment being in spec.

    I grew up in Modesto, a couple of hours north of Clovis. I wouldn't move back to the valley for any reason. I am considering Tennessee though.

    Like did the deer get anything or your buddy? Hopefully covid isnt a deer born virus. That would suck for those who live off that or the like.

    Have you been drinking again? J/K.

    He says there are a lot of non-hunters out in the woods. So no deer were harmed in a week's worth of hunting :rofl:
