    Nvm, didn't understand the context of your question. Thought you had one in your possession already.

    Not sure. I had toe set only and was $50. I think he said $100 for full front.

    An approximate would have done, but I have that now, thanks

    The local alignment/tire place near me aligned it how I wanted it. The dude is pretty good, even when I'm sitting at 3 degrees of castor and everything else is lined out and I'm like "can you do more?" and he just shrugs and keeps going until I'm smiling. I always drop him a tip (It's like 2 alignment guys that work in a big tire shop)

    Since we are on the subject, any numbers you guys prefer for alignments? Recently got mine done and the castor isn't ideal for me (can't give any numbers as apparent Toyota's printer was broken)

    i love it when they call it a lift kit... they told me that then they were telling another customer how amazing the new procomp drop bracket and rancho shocks on a 12' tacoma would out perform anything haha at that point i just walked out.

    I don't blame you. DB kits sucks ass and don't do shit unless you just want to look tall and ride around all day long. Procomp sucks IMO!!!

    Thats like the "offroad" shop right by my house, basically just a retailer that can install basic stuff. I asked about a Ruffstuff 9" setup/installed and the guy wrote it all down and my info and said he'd call me with a quote, dude probably didn't understand it needs a bit of welding.. .never got a call back lol. Maybe I'll go back someday and ask what happened and watch them stutter

    I'm mid install of the MCMfab LT kit, I bought the TC cam tab gussets.. but it looks like I can make the stock ones a lot stronger by just reinforcing them with more welds.. I don't want to take shortcuts but I'm just not seeing the extra 4hrs of drilling cutting and welding being worth it.

    is this a must have part?

    Not in season, but still cool to get out and see some of the forty mile caribou herd.
