    I have used them on my wife's stock 02 DCSB and my OME lifted 03 DCSB with great results each time. They take appointments, which worked well for me.

    ps-just saw you are in Anaheim, even closer than me in Fullerton!

    So Cal guys,
    If you are in need of an alignment on your lifted Taco I also recommend A-1 as Mike above recommended.
    After doing research here on Tacoma World I was Leary about picking the right shop to do this work.
    The guys at A-1 " Lu " did an awesome job! He let me watch and adjusted the settings to my liking.
    He has done many many lifted Tacomas.

    These guys rock. I got a great price and warranty.

    Tony

    They charge $49.99 with a three month warranty. I have not had any issues on abnormal wear or drifting. it is perfect

    Is this just for the front or $49 for front and rear? Seems pretty cheap.

    I've always went with Evans for a lifetime alignment but I'm sure any shop that offers it will be worth it. Honestly if you don't do what I have done to my truck its worth getting the free alignment when you can. Even in my case I use them to get the alignment numbers so I can go back on my own and change everything to get it within spec to my expectations.

    Honestly your tires are going to wear out way more from toe out then toe in and unless you have -3 degrees of camber you have absolutely nothing to worry about because your treadwear is at tire rotation time anyways.

    I can't let the wife know
    FIRESTONE automotive is where I go. Never had a problem. I've had the life time alignment for 3 yrs now. I usually take it after a hard weekend of wheeling. They always get my numbers with in spec (SPC UCA installed).

    I did Mike and they did a great job .... I say that because I have had no issues at all. They even let me look at the alignment screen and explained things to me.

    that's great to hear. I'll be going there then as im close by in Los Alamitos. Did you give them specific numbers you wanted or just let them work their magic?

    I did, and I watched and he showed me the specs as he was doing it. He has done lot's of lifted Taco's and is a cool dude.

    I do not know off hand what the specs are there in my truck but if you need to know you can find them here on TW
