$69 is what I paid for my 07 a few weeks ago.
Drives and handles much better.
My 01 was more.....but that's because of all the custom stuff on it and the guy spent half the day dialing it in perrfect

yea i just payed about $69 the other day on my 06 250, but if you add a lift kit they usually charge a bit more.

$75 at Tires Plus, or $150 (i think) for lifetime alignments.

At Sears it is about $70 for the four wheel thrust alignment, good for six months or 6K miles. You can bring it back as much as you want during that time. I get my tires rotated, balanced and alignment checked every 2500-3000 miles so the cost per alignment is around $24 for me.

If they are only charging $70 then all they are doing is setting the toe-in. Camber/caster adjustments require an eccentric bushing kit for the ball joints.

daddgonemadd is right. you have to ask them specificly to do the caster/camber adjustments. Especially if you have a lift kit. Half the time they won't have the bushings required to do it.

Are camber/caster adjustable on these trucks?
I believe thrust angle alignments are appropriate and likely in the $50 - $75 range.

My truck is in need of an alignment, as well.... timely thread.
Not looking forward to the bill for six new tires, though!
Alas, it's time for new ones.

my f350 was quoted at $50 when I did my level kit. Luckily for me they didn't charge me since it was true after the lift.

Yes, but theres not alot of adjustment. I just had mine aligned and WOW, no more wondering all over the road. I think mine was 60 bucks.
