    Thank you for all the information, especially the part about ordering my own parts and they are just doing the labor.

    Sure thing! I’d call to confirm if you decide to use them, but that’s what this guy told me today so that’s pretty cool if it’s true.

    Update: This is what I ended up with for alignment numbers. No rubbing anymore and truck is driving great. Barrette Fabrication in Warwick, RI took great care of me had me in and out in less than 2 hours and got my specs pretty much on point with what I asked for. And alignment ended up being $150 not $300. Great shop that does awesome work and friendly workers. Highly recommend these guys for anyone in RI.

    No idea why they keep going near zero camber but it’s perfect otherwise. I’d be happy with that.

    yeah I don’t know either. I asked for positive camber and toe around .6 and explained why, but that’s what I got. Happy with the caster since that was my major issue, but next time I may ask them to try to dial in the camber and toe closer to .6. Overall I’m happy. That rubbing was driving me nuts and it drives so much better now on the highway than it did on the way to the shop.

    Hell yeah. I'm glad this worked out for you the way you hoped! When I finally make it back home I think Barrette will be seeing a large percentage of my future paychecks between the Tacoma and the XJ. Thanks for the update!
