Any good shops familiar with aligning a dropped truck, or any members in the area have access to an alignment rack, or own a shop. Springs haven't been installed yet, but I just want to know where to bring it. I'll drive as far as B.R. or further to get it done correctly. '99 silverado ECSB.

I'd imagine alot of places can do it, maybe ask a local dealer where they send their vettes to be aligned.

I started a post in the suspension section about em being discontinued also. I got em last September from ScogginDickey, rear HOT2403, front HOT1914f for ext. cab and give em a call, they werent listed on their website but ithink I had to input the part #s. I got the edelbrock shocks at the same time.

if all you are doing is a 2/4 drop, i'm sure any alignment shop can do it.
i took my truck to the dealership and they aligned it for me.

You'd be better off going with control arms for the front IMO. I've got hotchkis drop springs up front and there is nothing you can do about the alignment being F'd up if you go that route. I think it improves your handling but your front tire's wear on the inside must faster than the outside.

Control arms or spindles would prolly be better than coils. It doesn't make sense to me using coils. I'd like to use leafs on the rear, cause it seems that you'd have your stock leafs bound up in an "S" shape with hangers and shackles. ???
