    Installed some new lowers/ball joints along with my taco tab kit. Casters locked in so did the old toe and go alignment. I love not having to drop my truck off for alignments anymore.

    This was my first time using it and it’s an awesome tool for sure. Took me about 10 min to get toe set exactly where I wanted it.

    Got myself a little early Christmas present. Saw a Viair 400P on ebay for $220, threw out an offer of $170 because why not? Seller accepted, which was awesome, but then I open the box this morning to find that it's actually a 400P Automatic, which is awesomer. Can't beat 50% off even with BF sales.

    Wife gave me a custom gift when she took my taco to work the other day. So thoughtful.

    SOLD! - seriously. I ordered a set.

    doesn’t the alignment change as the suspension compressed? Would this not need to be done at ride height?

    It may a little I’m sure but this got me well within a range I’m comfortable with and tracks very straight.

    I am closer to Richmond but live in Williamsburg.
