    Ball joint spacers and lift blocks, am I doing it right?

    Looks like it's for Supra's, based on the notes column.

    Most Florida dealers have made up fees in their pricing. I have a family friend who works in a dealer and they say its bullshit how theyre allowed to do it. so be careful out there buying cars.

    My guess too. But it was posted on a Tacoma forum, I figured it was someone relevant.

    I agree, any dealer that will pull this shit won't stop on one model. Their job is to maximize profits, unfortunately they're short sighted and will burn a lot of future business.

    I went to pick up few parts from Toyota dealership. Got approached as soon as I walked few feet from my truck. Their salesman are circling in front of the dealership like vultures, but it's their job I guess.

    WTF is this overland tuning thread in the florida section? Every post is by the OP. No likes, no replies by anyone… am I missing something?

    Still hard to find a good alignment shop in Indian River county. Went to my local Tire Kingdom as they had a guy with "15 years of experience". Kinda fucked me last time but I went back to get the "free" realignment.
    The truck alignment is fine now but they kinda lie about somethings that make me not trust them anymore.

    Also found out Mavis is buying out all the Tire Kingdoms.

    Tire kingdom has done me wrong a few times. Sent a customer to Firestone and they sucked to. Had to drive up there and show him how to align it. He was pissed. Kept telling me he has been doing alignments for 20 years the whole time he was fixing his bs.

    there is a 4x4 shop in Melbourne but when i called i asked if they did the alignments in house and they said they use the shop down the road. I looked up the shop and their reviews sucked. IDK i think im okay now but need to find someone different/ better
