Help on alignment and other....
Issues....I have searched to hades and back, I did a tundra coil and aal lift on my taco. Problem is I cant get a shop to give me an alignment .
Anyone know if there is a spec list to give them after this lift to compensate for lift?
Now for the other issues, I do confuse easily so after weeks of searching on several sites including this one and yet to find the answer I need.
I want bigger tires as now its looking goofy with the 31's so with a 1" body lift what size tire will I fit and what back space is needed.
I want a easy answer on what length shocks I need for the rear after I add a 1" shackle lift(I like the slightly lifted rear).
Its pulling to the right, driving me nuts, and the rear shocks need replacing(wash board roads trying to toss me into the ditch)
Get it yet Im no guru

I had the same problem when I had the long travel kit put on my first truck. I figured it was aligned right since an alignment shop with all the newest lasers and everything did it.
After getting only about 5,000 miles on a set of 31x10.50 BFG A/T's before wearing them to the cord, I finally found an "old-fashioned" alignment shop with not a laser to be found - just a really knowledgeable guy with radius plates. After he got done with it, the difference was amazing - not only did it track straight, but the ride was so much better!
Ask around and find a "real" alignment shop.
