    So I installed the 5100/OME 887, LR UCAs, and AAL/5100 this past weekend. Firestone isn't able to align my truck and I'm hearing a clunk while turning. I'm planning on replacing inner/outer tie rods, the LCA camber bolt/bushings, and removing my sway bar until I can get a drop kit. If none of that sorts out my issues does anyone know of a shop around Northwest Houston that could do some diagnostics and be able to comprehend a basic lift kit.

    Did the shop tell you those components were worn? I'd try a different alignment shop before tearing your truck apart again.

    Yeah they did and my truck is from Mass so I can believe they are seized from a few winters.

    Good luck getting those cam bolts out if they are seized.

    I wouldn't believe anything firestone says. They have ripped me off and I'm sure others as well with their 'lifetime' alignment

    Do you think I'd be better off going to a 4 Wheel Parts for the alignment?

    Almost died 5 mins ago!! :goingcrazy:
    By a chick in a jeep texting and driving!
    She came into my lane and I was in the z. Almost didn't slam on the break's and hink in time. But I did catch up to her and give her a 8k rpm hello.

    Funny how people fuck up and they think a simple wave and sorry! Makes up for everything

    Shits getting worse on the road. People think they can drive really fast when they have no clue what they are doing.
