Alignment Results Help

2017 TRD OR
Bilstein 6112/5160 - Front clips set at 6/5 for 2 inch lift
Total Chaos UCA
Icon AAL - 1.5 Inch Rear

Sorry if i seem misguided. Just installed this kit a few days ago and took it to a local alignment shop. Not happy about my caster. They mentioned the caster being maxed out on the right side and they couldn't do anything about it until the left and right suspension are set to the same level. I installed the circlip on the front suspension 1 setting higher on the driver side to account for the lean as recommended by Bilstein. Looks pretty even with this setting. Here are my current numbers. What should i be looking for as far as numbers? Do you have any recommended alignment shops in the north bay area that specialized in off road/lifted vehicles? Thanks in advance everyone.

 

Alignment Services in walnut creek did a great job when I got my taco lifted. The guy knows what he is doing and everyone around that business park uses him. The shop I got my kit put on from does a lot of 4x4 vehicles and the owner of the shop uses him all the time. He is reasonably priced. He is by appointment only.

 

Thanks! I'll check him out.

 

Hey thanks for the tip! Chris put my truck on the rack and within 5 minutes told me he found where les Schwab fucked up. Had it fixed within 20 minutes to the specific caster I requested.

 

So where did they mess up?

 

Les Schwab tried to set my specs to oem, then told me the cams were maxed out and they couldnt adjust it any more, so they didnt touch the caster. They blamed it on my Bilstein 6112 being 1 perch higher on the driver side than the passenger side (which is recommended by Bilstein). They told me if i want the alignment done right, i'd have to level the perches. My guess is they didn't know how to work on vehicles with aftermarket control arms with built in caster. I called BS and went to Chris at alignment services and he got it done without issue.

 

On top of that chris told me they (les schwab) cranked on the alignment cams so hard to try to adjust it that they bent the tabs that pushes against the cams.

 

Go show them your new alignment spec and get your money back.

I avoid Les Schwab like the plague!
