All you need is a carpenters level, a lazor light, and a tape measure. That how I do alignments.Normally caster and camber are preset. so toe out on the rear and toe in on the front
That seems much better that the drama at the dealer.. I think it was around 6 hours shop rate for the alignment and a pile of snivelling after I had the new balljoints up in. The alignment is good mind you but Doc... if you take in for the alignment make sure they know the difference between the H2 and H1... (I know it might be a seemingly ridiculous thing to say but it happened to me) As a daily driver the good alignment is a must. Seems there is a heck more knowledgeable shops out in your part of the country than out west. Ever consider moving west Roy???

I would love to move there with all those hills. But housing is a tad expensive and I like the shade under a tree. ;D

You can also deflate the tires while on the lift, attach the alignment machine and inflate the tires. Works on mine all the time.

Thanks for all the feedback! I actually wanted an excuse to get 12 bolts anyway so I just went and did that. Haha! Alignment finished now time for some fun!
