    I'm going to be installing my OME lift shortly with Light Racing upper control arms to restore proper alignment. Anyone know of a shop local to Denver or Boulder that is experienced with aligning lifted trucks with aftermarket upper control arms? It makes me a bit leery taking it to any old shop and expecting them to know the fine balance between the various positions afforded by the new control arms.

    Any other suggestions? As much as I'd love to go through Jace (trust me, I'd really love to), their maintenance department is booked up until 11/22. Not wanting to roast a brand new set of tires in the mean time, I was hoping to get into somewhere a bit sooner.

    Thanks for the feedback. The guys at ToyTec mentioned that the Tires Plus at 120th and Washington has done some work for them. I may give them a shot and see what they can do for me.

    I go to the Firestone on Colfax, they have two techs that are familiar with lifted vehicles and do a good job.

    That could work. I last time I brought my truck into Firestone I opted for the lifetime alignments. Then my truck got totaled before I ever got to use it again. Maybe they'll be kind and transfer over?

    Ended up taking it to James at the Tires Plus on 120th and Washington. Guy did a great job with the tire install and alignment and everything is squared away once again. Another option for those in need of the same thing.
