    Radial hooked it up for only $75. Ask for Rafael. He drives a lifted 4 Runner.

    Thanks again for rec!

    That's a great price for a good alignment especially if they custom tailor the numbers to suit your rig. Usually alignments in that price range are the run of the mill factory spec ones. Good find

    Yeah PepBoys is $99.

    They quoted me $75-95, and I said I'll happily pay the $95 for good work.

    They also double checked the torque specs on my UCAs as a favor and without me asking.

    Decent places are hard to find and these guys deserve the word of mouth.

    Depending on your tire size you might want to push for 3 or more degrees caster. With 33s it'll help clear the pinch weld

    You gotta tell them that's what you want because technically 3 or more degrees is out of spec so they usually max it at around 2 - 2.5

    I just had my truck aligned at Goodyear on I St.
    I was given two quotes.
    They quoted me $115 for a one time custom alignment.
    I do think they warranted it for so many months.
    I asked for extra caster ~3 deg
    2nd quote was $204 for a 3 year custom alignment.
    On the 3yr they said I could bring it in each time I modified something.
    Here's the settings I ended up with.
    The person doing the alignment was great to talk with.
    I explained what I wanted before he started and then he explained what he did and why.
    He thinks this is the best I can do with what I have.
    He said the caster should be off about .5 from side to side.
    Basically he maxed the caster on the bottom then gave me as much as he could while keeping the other settings in range.
    I opted for the 3yr.

    I have had great success with the lifetime Firestone alignment. My truck is there right now after I adjusted my coil overs. I guess I’ll edit this post if something isn’t right.

    Here is the final print out. I guess they couldn’t quite get it all perfect. I adjusted my drivers side quite a bit to make up for the “lean” compared to the passenger side.

    Can Anyone who knows alignment numbers tell me if these numbers look bad?

    Couldn't tell you what the current wait is, call and make an appointment. I haven't checked my records to verify what I paid either. I would take them the instructions that come with the Uppers just in case...

    @grubburg i from sac as well. S&H 4wheel Drive was the shit back when I had my YJ (late 90’s). I’ve heard the quality which they were know is no longer. They contract services out which they never did before. Check these guys out when you get a chance. They are doing a top hat spacer lift for me

    I did a custom alignment with Firestone and asked them for what I wanted.
    I felt they gave me a good alignment for what I asked for.
    What where you looking for?
    If you wanted a lot of caster you got it.
    I was told the caster should be different from side to side so yours could be a good compromise if you wanted 3 deg.
    On yours, I think your camber should be readjusted shooting for something closer to being even side to side and zero.
    Most important, I don't know much about this stuff other that what I posted in my other post in this thread.
