H1s have two very different alignment specs. One is for unloaded and the other for loaded.
 
In other words unloaded would be how your H1 would be most of the time.
 
Loaded means at or near max GVWR...that also means you would have several thousand pounds of stuff on board!

if you have oem ctis, make sure they use a 3/4 wrench to take off not a pry bar.
 
Ride heigt should be checked to make sure springs are good. Stock tires  --ground to sub frame 17-19 inches

 toe  0 to 0.19  toe in at front of tires
