    2"CB shackles, bushings and 1 shim, lockerdown console vault, rear folding seat back mod, snugtop shell with opening side windows, 46g fuel tank, SDHQ sliders and hidden winch, Decked Drawers, Alcan leaf springs and got rid of the interior chrome
    These rear specs may make me re-evaluate my thrust angle...

    I would stray away from the Firestone lifetime alignments. The techs don't get paid crap and this translates to a bad attitude a rushed job. The service adviser told me the techs only get paid .5 hr flat rate for a lifetime alignment. For a tech making 25 hr flate rate that's only $12.50 to align your truck! No wonder they rush through them.

    Also, as mentioned before, being 'in the green' means nothing. The tech can actually go into the software and changes the numbers to whatever he wants! You don't even have to lean on a tire to change values, you can simply use the keyboard. Seen it happen with Hunter alignment racks.

    I have a 13 DC Tundra with a 6" PC lift and TC UCA. I have chewed through a set of tires (35x12.5x18) in less than 2 years. Went to Big-O tires and dropped another $1800 for a new set and signed up for their unlimited alignment for $150 bucks. 3 weeks in on the new tires and already noticing outer wear. Camber was set at -0.7 left, -0.6 right, Caster at 1.9 left, 2.8 right. Where did they go wrong?

    3" front lift, 1" rear lift; BFG KO2 295/60R20; color matched front grille and hood bulge
    Old thread I know, but curious how much the lift was? Less than or more than 3" ? Fighting this same battle and this info will help.
