    Yeah I bought that lifetime alignment and then they told me they won't touch my truck because its lifted. Even after I gave them G.T.'s advice "its peformance upgrades"

    Yeah, I have used Plaza on Highway K for quite some time. It used to be where Axleboy is now.

    I think the one at Mexico and Salt Lick Road is good to, but they have quite waitlist.

    True, but I had several meetings with the dealership's manager, service writer, and mechanic ahead of time. I gave them all the documentation and we went over everything, including what I had to do myself, because they didn't handle some things(changing front coils and adding leaf packs).

    I am not really complaining...hell I drove it that way for a year and even wheeled it without any detrimental affects. For me it was a little more of "WTF", than anything.

    I saw the opposite done at a CCC camp out here in AZ. They built two concrete platforms side by side with ramps. They were separated enough to have a human work under them. Pretty nifty.

    I've never had an issue with plaza, other than their website being 10 years old.

    Went to Put performance with my jeep. Was so non plussed I canceled what I was having done and left. They aren't impressive.

    Talked to axleboy about my Inferno SR5. they're a fun bunch, but man I had to endure quite a bit of jeepers hating on Toyotas before we could even talk seriously. Never made it up there. So who knows lol.

    Great that you posted. Been scary around here lately. Are you talking about the Bro lean? I here this, but I have no idea what they are talking about. I have a ORANGE 2018 DC OR. I figured with my weight it eventually will lean down on the drivers side.

    What do the experts have to say?

    like I said, the local places suck. Discount tire direct has just about everything except the destination series tires in the sizes needed for the tacomas. Not really a big deal, I was more just commenting. Lol

    Edit: Forget factory sizes. :D:mudding:

    I think bro lean is when you add more lift to the front than the rear, so you're leaning back.
    The "dreaded Taco lean" is leaning to the left because the driver, fuel tank and battery are all on the left, so that's what the 1/4" spacer on the left is for. I've heard it's worse after a full tank of fuel and a trip to Golden Corral.

    Helps when you start with the steering wheel centered.

    two tries is probably still less time than you’d waste going to a shop..
