4x4 Alignment

I believe many of you have a truck as well so I would like to know where you go for alignment. My truck is lifted and has 33" tires. It's in need of alignment like 2 years ago.. haha. Will Big O do it our I have to go to a special place to get it done properly.

Their price seems to be expensive for tires. Do they do alignement there too?

4wheel parts dont ACTUALLY do the alignments.

well at least 6-8 years ago, the 4wp in oakland drove my truck down to an alignment show just a couple blocks from them.

33" tires aint that bad.

find a shop that is semi smart and they can do the alignment.

what's wrong anyways? toe? camber?

what's the truck?

on my 90 toyota 4runner, i can do a toe alignment with very good results.

00 Tacoma camber is off major wear inside of both front tires. Outside still have decent tread left. Don't really want to buy new tires but might have to if this keeps on.

Anybody know where to get 33" BFG AT for a good price?

move the tires to the rear.

that is, once you got the front camber is adjusted...

I have a lifted jeep on 33's as well. I have just taken it to numerous alignment shops. No shop I have been to has had an issue with the size. A rotate may be a good answer if it isnt pullin' real hard.

Any other suggestion on alignment shops. I got the tires already but I dont' want to go to some shop that can screw up something. As you know mechanics these days don't know jack.
