there are not alot of places around me that can align my truck. nobody knows how to work with the camber/caster bushings. everybody just does the toe. there are two places i know of that can do my alignment, and both places need around 300 to do it

It seems to me that any DECENT tire place should be able to do an alignment. If they can't, or won't, then they aren't worth their weight in used rubber.

So I took it to Tire Town (to get my new tires balanced/mounted) and wanted a alignment too. Aligment guy put my truck on the machine, and said he couldn't align the front end properly and didn't charge me. Later I looked at the alignment paper he gave me , and he was trying to align my truck like a 89 F250. When I told him to align it up like a 79 F150 (because of the Solid axle)

I am never going back there. And I haven't had the money in order to take the truck to the guy eveyone says is great.
