    So today after installing my 5100s and springs, I took my truck to get it aligned... I tried a couple places without success so I decided I would eat the $130 fee and go right to Toyota... upon arrival, one of their greeters informed me that they couldn't align my truck due to the excessive lift (2").... and they also said "I don't think you're supposed to level these or lift them" (even though they have 4 with shitty block lifts on the lot).... am I missing something here? Is there something other than camber, castor or toe to adjust??? I really think it's just south tx laziness by maybe I'm wrong

    Toyota dealers usually will not align trucks with aftermarket suspensions. It's just there policy

    Yeah I guess there is the liability aspect, but they did my buddy's 4Runner... the difference was he didn't tell the little greeter dude anything about the 5100s.... oh well

    I've done a mod or two
    Just have Led Schwab do it. They won't have any issues with aligning it because they install lifts (however shitty they may be).
