I'm getting mine aligned at Firestone, right as we speak. Bought the lifetime alignment for $160, just like my other truck. Not bad when 1 alignment is $60-80. I'm going to get it aligned once a week, as my springs settle, but I always learned that you should get it aligned at least 2-3 times to ensure its correct. Some mechanics are different/better than others.

Sounds like the OP will need a second shop to check it out if your kit was within the limits.

I think your right, might just need to take it to another shop or another tech

I had firestone align mine too Trup

btw...if anyone needs/wants the MCG panhard drop bracket or rear sway ends I have them in for sale forum

Doesn't make sense. Toe is easily adjustable with the tie rods. I've never known of a car where you can't get enough adjustment with tie rods to be in spec. Camber/caster yes, toe never.
I'd like the OP to show us the printout that came with his alignment.

Well just got offshore today so when I get bak on land I will see if that printout is in my truk, and if not see if I can get a copy from the dealership, so I can show yall. I think the toe was like 1.8° thats all I remember at the moment.

Call bell tech. As far as I know, they guarantee that your vehicle can be brought into factory alignment specs.

I had to call several shops with a 3/4 drop on my lowered chevy. Some shops wouldn't even try, said something about the laser not adjusting low enough to shoot under the frame, don't know alot bout alignment so could be total BS. Found a guy near my college that set it with his machine to what he thought was right then did it old school with plum lines, tape measure, and pop cans or something. However he got it dead on.
Then towing became an issue sitting so low, but i guarantee a good repow man can do it without damage.
