I'd say it turned out perfect! Good job, if anyone notices a 1/4", they've got much better eyes than me.

Doesn't matter!
Looks great now, can't wait to see the Falkens on it.

Thanks everyone! I am taking it to my purchasing dealer for an alignment. I have about $30 in rewards. Otherwise it would go into Firestone. Sad news is, Monday is my appointment so I will be driving a 02 Grand Prix for a couple days. Then I will schedule with Discount Tire for the Falkens. I'll be honest, it drives perfectly, no harshness, pulling, bumpiness or rattles. Helps to torque all nuts down to the proper specs!

Only problem it would be a 700 mile drive, doubt you're up to that, you would only be a couple hundred miles from JohnDay...You could stop and say hi to him too.
With the newer computerized alignment it would take a pretty good idiot screw it up, not saying it can't be done. I think most can provide you with a data sheet.
Some Firestone stores are company owned others are private. I would put more trust in a private store. For the heck of it do a Yelp search and see how bad/good their rating is.

I have a great independent one...They installed my front Fox Shocks when I had the truck about a day. I couldn't bring myself to start tearing it apart, I got over that quick.

After the tires, all I have sitting on the workbench is a can of semi-gloss chassis paint for that hideous axle and metal part of the drive shaft. May pull and paint the Bilsteins since they have not help up very well. Horrible actually.
