How do I do an alignment on an 06

My brother went to a performance shop and asked them to do an alignment on his 06 with a leveling kit and 35s. They said that you can not align a dodge, is that BS or true? Is there a website that would help me to do it for him. Thanks

i redid my whole entire front end last summer, which included adjustable upper ball joints- it took my alignment guy 15 minutes to align my truck. he also said it was the easiest vehicle he had alignment in 17 years. my alignment is perfect! truck tracks down the road straight as can be.

Depending on the level of allignment needed, there is great info on Thurens site concerning a DIY allignment.

Find a shop that does computer alignment. You'll be happy with the results!

I believe you want to set the toe at around .05-.1 and caster at around 4 degrees. Can't set the camber if stock. If you set caster too negative it can cause death wobble and if you set it too positive it can have some drift.


Those figures are from memory from a while back.
