Shock bushings looked alright, I figured maybe I cranked the drivers side T-bar a little to much, but they are both out 5/8" measuring from the key to the top of the bolt.

So I called them up after my last reply and explained to them what's going on and they said they'd be happy to re-align the truck and told me it was probably mis aligned because it was at closing time when we got out of there.

What ever, when can I come in? They wanted to tell me I had to wait until the 22nd at 9AM. I told them no, this should have been done right to begin with, I shouldn't have to wait another 11 days for you to re-do something. I called a different shop (same company) right up the road from them and got it done. Here are my current numbers.




Caster is still out of spec, but it's about the same as all the other alignments I've had done since the lift was put on.

Man, some shops business ethic blows my mind. In your case, they should of stayed open after hours if need be to go over your problem and adjust properly.

Specially after informing you of what could have happened lol. I can't believe that excuse.

You didn't post the before pic with your after pic.... :facepalm:



Now if that's not confusing. The actual of the sheet on the left SHOULD be the before on the sheet to the right.

I agree, definitely.

This kind of thing only occurs when you get you tools mixed up.

Sounds like that shop may have that problem.
