Let the alignment shop know why you're there, they may just want put the T-bars back to factory specs so let them know you want to keep the height but correct the camber that lifting got you and check the caster and toe.

Good tip, but I think he was gonna have them do both I'd imagine??? heck, I would. It's more of a hassle on your back at home than it is to cough up the $75 for them to do it.

I always have them alter something. Either to accomodate for a plow or for cornering in my Mustang.

I'll probably just do this in my driveway and just lift the truck off the ground, since i'm getting headlights later on in a few weeks that are kind of pricey so i don't have the best budget right now

I hear ya on that one, but some things are much easier and safer up on a lift. I think you have to relieve all the tension off the front end components, so that means a high lifting jack. Anyways, safety..safety..safety

A 2 1/2 ton floor jack and some bottle jacks will work just fine.
