Had an alignment done yesterday by XLR8R.
I was impressed. He does a better job with not alignment machine than any I've had before!
And none of this "within limits"! Dodges parameters, like on their valve lash settings, are way to generous.
Anyone needing alignment...I recommend going to LazarSmith!

Ya well I will be needing one in September for sure! We did one on my truck at school on the machine but the truck still dont handle and drive the way it used to, I could have other issues tho! I found a good deal on a nitrous kit the guy has been e mailing me about it but being in school makes it realy hard to some up with any kind of money! I am running in Tulsa on Sep 19th with some guys and realy wish I could have a lil more time knocked off those low 13's!

My grandfather used to align front ends with a long 2X4 that had 1X4's on the ends at 90*'s. He also spin balanced tires while they were on the car. He would rotate them to the front where he could spin them by hand and move the weights until he was satisfied. I've seen him take the front end shake out of a bunch of old cars.

Good for you, Dan. We'll need to have a "Welcome Home, Dan" GTG at The Ranch sometime in August. With the new job, getting off on the weekend is not a given. Being the only other employee, when the boss is gone, I have to be there.

Welcome home Dan!!!!! I just picked up the H2 wheels from RJ on Wednesday on my way home from Arkansas. Thanks for bringing them down earlier. They look great!


We definately need to have a GTG. My place is still a work in progress (patio) but yall are welcome to come here for a GTG if you want. And we can go inside if we need to for a A/C break. Im sure whenever we decide to do it, it will be 100+, as usual in August.

Plenty of room for parking in the field behind my house...which was mowed recently.
