    They said they couldn't get it to factory specs and didn't even want to try,i've got a shop that will do it.
    I tried to get that towing relay at Advanced and Autozone and they didn't have what i was looking for,any other suggestions?

    See if they have a pepboys near you. They seem to have everything there and more selection too. I would get a road force balance. My friend just had a lift installed and he swears by the road force. He said it gave him as close to factory spec and drives great. I'm going this weekend to get one.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the road force just balancing your wheels tires . Doesn't play a factor in alignment .

    John you are right. Road force is just the machine that they use to balance tires. If they can't get a tire to balance by normal high speed they have a drum that touches the tire tread as it balances it. This checks to see if the tire is true or out of round and can also tell the user if the tire needs to be clocked on the wheel. It has nothing to do with alignment. All my tires were done at Firestone on the Road Force Machine then a Hunter Alignment. :D

    Hey Rob,
    It actually settled nice and i think i might call the Firestone in Wilmington and see if they'll do the alignment,the guy i talked to there said they could do it with a lift,i was going there first but figured i'd save the sales tax by gointg to NH.
