    I don’t know enough to know anything other than red means bad :rofl:. I just installed @Toytec Lifts boss kit with SPC UCAs and had some 295s mounted at a shop I’m doing some work for. Walked away as they were closing with these results. Should I go back? Should I go elsewhere? Haaaalp!

    I doubt I’ll be going back with these instructions to this shop. I think they have a lot of techs that are not very experienced.

    Thanks you both a bunch. I’ll hit up the manager tomorrow and see what he thinks. I thought for the amount of money I just spent on parts I would definitely get a better reading.

    WTF? I can eye ball a better alignment. Seriously, I installed all new everything on the front end, eye balled the alignment and was a lot closer than the #s they let you leave with. Get your money back if can.

    Not bad as long as it's not pulling. And, I'm guessing you have stock UCAs?

    No pulling, and yes.
    Just like the look of a level truck and I can put some bigger tires on now at some point

    that sucks, looks like that tech was ready to go home... However, slightly in their defense many shops don't know what to do with adjustable UCA's, i printed off the SPC instructions and explained what i wanted to my shop and the were competent enough to get it right, there are plenty that are not. if you can take it to @Toytec Lifts you will probably get it better than anywhere else, they do this type of thing with SPC's all day long.

    @Toytec Lifts , got this response from shop manager. Not going to put them on blast but this definitely doesn’t sound right.

    I also found out the tie rod assemblies were maxed out, we need to remove and trim one side about 1/2”
