front end alignment

Does anyone know of a good place in the DFW area to get a front end alignment? I just did the leveling kit and want the alignment done. I would really like to take it to someone who really knows what they are doing, not some computer jockey that puts it barely in spec and calls it good.

thanks

Eli

I'll ask. My brother-in-law has both a tranny shop and performance shop in or near Denton.

Have who ever align it to these specs. Tell them you want a print out and they will be putting it back on the rack if they aren't these exact specs. I've always used these and have never had a problem. I'll be getting my 06 aligned today.

Is camber even adjustable on 4x4s?

I would do the alignment myself. Just adjust the toe (set it neutral) and see how it drives. If you don't get the death wobble you're good to go.

maybe a dumb question but how do you set the toe to to neutral? With a measuring tape?

Yep. My last two trucks were done that way with no issues.

Don Thuren has a good write up on his web page on how to do one accurately.
