IMO that's $69 well spent, $90 in beer money your wasting but a good price for an alignment.

Yes! Everything on these trucks is metric. But like I said the standard size big sockets will work. I think I bought the 30mm socket for no reason and an 18mm. The bolts on the top of the shock tower are 15mm....

Seriously if you count the lugnuts you are only going to loosen/tighten about 15 things. As long as you take your time everything will be cake. Like Atom said, a torque wrench is your friend.
