    Thank you. I basically will have that setup, but with 5100s in the front, you have OME struts, correct?

    Going to start my install tomorrow morning. How long did it take you guys to tackle it? I've seen a few install videos and read some instructions. Seems pretty easy and straight forward.

    Took me about 2 hrs with me rotating all my tires and my 4yr old helping me with the impact. Make sure to have a 32mm socket for the ball joint nut.

    That was my next question; size of ball joint nut. How much did you torque it down before alignment? After alignment it's 150lbs right?

    So I've gone to Firestone and good year for an alignment. They both tell me that they can only align to manufacturer specs. Does anyone know how much those differ from the toe-0 camber-0 caster- 2.5-3?

    I just talked to my guy (2mins ago). He said factory's caster is somewhere around 1.5-2.0. I forgot what camber was and toe was close to 0. I told him I want specific numbers and he said no problem!

    Yes sir
    I'd either prod them to figure it out because they should be able to align how you want or find another place that isn't stupid... just my .02

    Lucky. Firestone flat out said no to specific numbers. Goodyear kept saying to manufacture spec, but I want sure if the guy was hinting at using my numbers or just coming off as weird.

    Yes sir
    Yea, sometimes you just gotta tell em that you know what your talking about and they don't... factory alignment works well with the factory UCA's, but not with a 3" lift and your after market UCA's which you bought so you could get the numbers you want

    Here are my numbers. They're out of ink so I took a picture of it. They got it done in about 30 mins. Camber, caster, something, then toe
