Got my Alignment re-done by a manager or shop lead or whatever they are called. He was actually rather upset that the guy before did such a bad job. He got it perfect this time. Doesnt pull wheel is centered and overall it feels much better!

He also complemented me on my truck

As i said your specs you showed were, ummm uncalled for and i would be embarassed to let something leave with those specs, ford or dodge maybe, especially with solid axle front end, not a gm truck..... Too easy to get in spec, most stock trucks that have never been aligned i can get within spec before it ever hits alignment rack, and once its on rack just a few minor tweaking adjustments.... Ive also had a few nnbs ive done with lifts that the shop that put the lift on put the camber adjusters in upside down!!! Glad they fixed it, sorry about the rant, kind of a pet peeve... If you dont wanna do your job correctly and take pride in your work, abd do something right the first time find another line of work!!!! Too many hacks in this industry, i get everyone has a bad day but i deal with shade tree hacks on a regular basis, between ones bringing there fups to get unf'd and occasional onesthat get hired....

I was in car audio for 8 years and I couldnt agree more. I used to make sure to be loud and obvious pointing out how much more we were charging them to fix it than if they just had us do it in the first place.
