    Looking for a shop in the Chicagoland area that is proficient in alignment with SPC control arms. If anyone has any recommendations let me know! I am in the SW burbs and my typical alignment guy does not know much about them.

    Any Firestone. I have SPC and they are able to get it aligned each time.

    Very cool. I will try firestone. Trying to get my arms as far forward as possible and get my caster back. I have an alignment guy I have used for years but not sure he's familiar with SPC. Thanks much

    Yup you bet. I paid a little extra for a 1yr unlimited alignments. It’s up this July, but it paid for itself as I got like 3-4 alignments since last year.

    I suggest Firestone too… I do my own alignments at work.. but after doing SPCs with our setup… yea I’d pay Some to do them. Lol


    Luckily I just run uniballs on all the trucks

    Absolutely. Makes for a fun time. I've done plenty myself.

    I really need to get me a welder and learn and then I can basically offer any side work on weekends

    The sensor replacement and alignment and stuff is the only thing that makes me second guess, no doubt i could get it on...may end up doing it myself we will see. Curious how a self install would affect warranty. In my experience dealers will use any excuse to not honor warranty. "this lift kit made your engine fail prematurely because you installed it wrong..." Wait wtf? Ha
