    Just back from the shop having the rig aligned post-lift. The guys said it was pretty damn close! Here's my #'s:

    Ive always talked with the person doing the alignment at firestone and told what I wanted with no issues. One tech even created a custom folder in there program so when they would bring up toyota it would show Johns toyota in case he wasn't around the tech would set it to the settings he had programed.
    Cant beat firestones lifetime alignment.

    It looks like the tech didn't touch the caster and they didn't even fix your toe and put it at 0...From the looks of your pre and post alignment numbers it looks like they barely aligned your truck :notsure:

    Thanks for the feedback, I don't know that much about alignments or the spec sheets (that's why I posted it up). They didn't charge me full price and said that it was "pretty close" before they made their adjustments, whatever that means. I'm deploying tomorrow so won't be able to take it back for at least a week. :(

    Looks like they did a "toe and go" alignment. Camber could come down closer to zero while maxing out caster.

    10-4, when I get back I'll take it back in and ask them to get it dialed in. Thanks for all the input, Fellas! :)

    Looking to get coilovers soon and I wish there is a clear choice.

    I like that Kings are progressive since we have to DD our trucks. Sounds like you really cant adjust the King coilover height. This true?

    Icon is the clear winner for customer service based on what I've read. Extended travel is a plus for off-roading. Is the top hat issue really resolved?

    Anything else that might be factor? Reviving the thread to get more opinions

    You can definitely adjust the king coilover height. Same way you adjust any other coilover height.

    King also has excellent customer service. Both companies have extended travel option. Yes it seems it is resolved.

    So Kings are adjustable but you have to take them off?

    I understand King has an extended travel but isnt it only like a 1/4" vs Icons which is more?
