    Going 35's next set and want to get more caster to clear the already chopped cab mount. LeSchwabes of course will not adjust the suspension out of factory tolerance and lets face it, even if they could, the slap dicks do not take the time to get her right. They dont get the intent, ya know?

    Any know of an alignment shop in the bay area that is keen to what needs to be done and why?

    Believe it or not I got my alignment done at 4WP with my SPC’s and they aligned it just the way I wanted. I did piss them off but they got it :thumbsup:
    Good luck OP

    Fremont Alignment dialed me in with SPCs. $100 and only took an hour. Was also referred to Auto Innovations by Milo, but went with Fremont Alignment instead.

    Auto Innovations (AI) in milpitas for the south bay guys. Ask for Orlando.

    (Fun fact: I bought my first major car mod from AI back in '93. It was a Stromung exhaust for my '93 Probe GT. Auto Innovations is OG)

    Custom Alignment in Mtn View for the Peninsula guys.

    I just want to second this - Melody at Elite aligns my track car on a regular basis, and has awesome attention to detail. She always test drives my car after aligning, and has no problem throwing it back on the rack if something isn't right.

    OP I need to get mine done next, did you end up going with Fremont Alignment or Auto innovations?

    Just got my Ridge Grapplers on and want to make sure they wear right, I'm getting a faint pull to the right and refusal to go straight.

    Malugani’s Tire Shop in Mill Valley has done two of my trucks with TC uppers, dialed in positive camber with no issues.

    I ended up going to Beep's Offroad to get an alignment and tires mounted/balanced. I'll definitely be going back to get some more work done on my truck.
