    No but I had about 5 alignments done in order to get mine dialed in.. changed my suspension about 5 times then went to tall so UCAs wouldn't allow alignment so went threw 3 sets of those finally got icon fully adjustable delta joint. Now everything is aligned but the heim joints on the icons make all sorts of noises if they aren't showroom clean.
    Anyway no I don't have the specs but it took 4 shops and a specialty semi truck alignment shop to get mine dialed in. Ruined 2 of my new 38 inch toyo mts from bad camber.. expensive
    Hope you have better luck than I did

    I would make the trip. 40 miles is nothing for a good alignment.

    7" BDS Coilover Suspension Lift/BDS UCAs/XB LED Headlights/Nitto trail Grappler tires on Black Rhyno Armory wheels
    I had the BDS 7" coilover suspension lift installed about 6 months ago. The only downside to it is my turning radius was reduced. I m going to the shop next week to see what my options are, and to have the lift re torqued. As far as the lift it was a bit stiff for the first few months, but it has softened up quite a bit. After the fact I wish I would had gotten the adjustable front shocks. they are a bit more money, but it s well worth it. I also need to go into shop about every three months and have lift torqued. All in all though, I m happy with the lift.
