    Need some recommendation for alignment shops around Redwood City or Santa Clara area. Just got some new tires and a 2" ome lift.

    Also can someone share the alignment specs for a 1st gen tacoma.

    Thanks

    I went to George Oren Tire Specialist, Inc. not sure if there's one around your area, but the guys there gave me 6 month alignment warranty, I must have been there 3-4x within 4 months, giving those guys hard time aligning my 40's.

    Firestone lifetime. I have gone about 15 times since I paid for it. Definitely getting every dime out of the price.

    Which Firestone did you go to? I took mine to a Firestone to get an alignment, but when he saw my spc uca he didn't want to touch it.

    I usually go to concord and have not had any problems. They actually even adjusted my ICON Billets to try and get the specs better.
