    I'm having my 2011 DC LB levelled this week at my local 4x4 shop with Bilsteins set at 1.75 and using the stock springs and UCAs. Also I plan to run 265/70/17 tires. I've read a lot of other threads on alignments, but there seems to be a wide variety of results depending on the height of the lift, if they used stock UCAs and tire size.

    Tires are to expensive not to have a good alignment. So what would be the best numbers I can expect the Tech to get, hoping they don't rush the job and don't do just adjust it until everything is in the green?

    had an issue with positive camber. told the shop to adjust to .6 each side. looks better and its within factory specs (.5-1.2), besides that it shold be match factory i believe, i have my sheet somewhere i can hunt it down for ya

    3rd notch on 5100 and 33" tires for reference

    to add to my above comment, i was at .9 and 1.1 after the alignment. tech fought me on redoing it to my specs but the owner agreed that as long as we were withing factory specs they would still warranty the work, even if we were at the most extreme side of it. stock UCA, stock springs, just the 5100s and 33s. .9 and 1.1 looked weird as hell, that little adjustment made a huge difference in both visuals and how it drove. before it was very skatey and squirly on bumps , after i had them redo it it rode like stock again
