    Long story short...
    After having my tires, rims and suspension all installed at the same time.
    I got it back and the alignment was way out...tires rubbing etc...
    They gave me a rufund and told me to go elsewhere...
    I went to another shop....they suggested i purchase some uca's.
    I purchased SPC.
    They gave my truck back worse than the first shop. They could not figure out the SPC's and also gave me a refund....
    I ended up at a 3rd shop who again had never seen my SPC,s but said it was not a problem. I got my truck back with no rub..........i assumed it was good. They did not provide a printed spec sheet. After driving it for alnost a year and thinking im insane for thinking it doesnt feel right. I took it to another recommended shop from a local Toyota forum. I sent the owner a picture of my current set up and from the photo he said it was incorrect. He squeezed me in the same day. He took a printout of how my truck was when i rolled in / sent away from last shop.
    The bottom is what he fixed it to.
    If you are in the lower mainland of British Columbia Canada ....i highly recommend going to see Poonam at Ultratune. He also flashed my steering back to be correct. Something nobody else even mentioned.....20190415_123306.jpg

    5 degrees of caster?? Yikes! I can hear your ball joints screaming. How hard was the steering?

    Flashed your steering? You mean steer ahead? Currently in the same boat, just did my lift and cam tab gussets and I'm at 4.9 & 4.6 caster and it feels like shit. Going in on Friday for an alignment.
