    I had mine done at Michaels Toyota in Bellevue after my local Firestone did a terrible job. They install aftermarket stuff and they were familiar with SPCs.

    ha! my experience was the opposite. I no longer would trust Micheal’s (or whatever their offroad shop ) to rotate tires. Good luck with the Ugga duggas they use to put lug nuts back on.

    i should have gotten the hint when the tech came out, took one look at my JBAs I had at the time and shook his head like he didn’t want to deal with the alignment.

    Don’t know if you found a place yet but just had mine done at Clark’s in totem lake. Just had to be specific with what I wanted. Maxed lowers, camber and caster done on upper arm, and then toe correction. He’s familiar with spc’s and what I wanted and got everything strait. Scheduled on Thursday for a Monday drop off and was $99 with tax. They are not offering anything while you wait so you would have to drop off and pickup when they are done/before closing.

    It can be a ways out for sure. We don't have one guy that only does alignments, as all of our techs are trained to do them. So, it depends on their schedule. Unfortunately it doesn't always work out with the customers schedule.

    Perfectly understandable and I didn't mean for that to sound as dickish as it did... I was just trying to temper people's expectations on timeline.

    If it weren't for the scheduling, I would have used you guys for alignments in the past. It's just not feasible to drive around on a bad alignment for weeks, waiting to get in.

    Edit: you guys did an amazing job on my CMC!

    So I posted up earlier stating we charge $189 for an alignment. That is the standard alignment, and I learned today that if we need to adjust the SPC it goes up to $249. I just want to be upfront with everyone, so no one gets an unpleasant surprise.

    No worries, pricing at Mule is always an unpleasant surprise

    Bringing back a dead thread but I called Mule for an install on my SPC's and an alignment. Surprisingly they were only going to be about $580ish or so plus tax. I ended up going with a shop in Snohomish (Allied Motorsports) being its much closer to me.

    They were good. No complaints. It was about $600 for the install and alignment which was in line with some other shops I called.

    I did ended up needing a CMC after my alignment which they quoted me over $700 for (plus the cmc plates). I was pretty surprised on that being Mule does it for $270 plus tax including the cmc plates

    Jfc. Anyone wants to pay $700 for a cmc can call me any time of the day. For that money idgaf. It's barely an hour worth of work

    Haha no. I've seen what that requires, it's...a lot. Why are you needing one? Not even 37s require that

    How aggressive is your cmc? How far forward is your alignment? I've been on 34s for a couple years now, and while it's close to the cab mount, it clears, and I didn't go crazy with it.

    I’ll get some pics.

    what are your wheels, tires, suspension, mod weight and alignment at? No rubbing off roading?

    Uhhh. Ads suspension, spc ucas, as far forward as would work, heavy AF (steel bumper, winch, AGM battery), 0 offset wheels (level 8). I'm just saying there's guys with bigger than 35s who didn't do a cmr. There's gotta be options still
