    I bought a new 2019 TSS and took it to an off rod shop and have some work done. I added Bilestein 5100’s all
    The way up and Rhino 1”blocks in the rear. I have had to get 3 alignments done answer because my Toe off out on the front. I’m getting terrible uneven ware on my tires. I really don’t want to go back to the same place a 3rd time as they just fix it and send me on down the road.

    Cranked to 3 inch lift- you need adjustable UCAs to get alignment back to spec.

    The bilstein 5100 on top setting should only be around 2.25 -2.5. Did you add any spacers or shims? It should be able to align with no problems unless you added more height.

    Next time ask for them to print out the alignment sheet and post it here. No way to tell if they're actually doing a good job without seeing the before and after numbers. It took me four tries, including two at the Toyota dealership to get them to align my truck properly after I installed 5100s on the middle setting. A lazy tech will "set the toe and let it go" but you need the caster and camber brought back within spec. Ideally they will put it at the MIDDLE of the spec, not right on the edge of acceptable numbers.

    Umm you have a 2019 TSS, $600 for some UPC shouldn't be an issue.
