Recently installed my IVD Stage I suspension. AWSOMENESS!!!! I retained the factory rake of the FJ which is nice and what I wanted. Handling is superp on the street and HWYS and ate up the bumps at Wildomar recently. I need an alignment now. Been two weeks now I think the suspension has settled. Anyone know a good aligment shop in OC area? or Riverisde area?

I have a buddy that does my alignments for $40 since I get them done so often. The shop is in Chino Hills. PM me and I will give you more details.

I went with Tire Kingdom. They do a good job so far. And I paid like 130.00/ 3 years and can go as many times I want. They even rekon I wheel offroad and they're cool w/ that. Worth the $$$

Firestone in Costa Mesa. I paid $170.00 for a lifetime alignment package for the FJ. I have had the alignment done 5 times so far and every time its spot on.

Oh while we are on the alignment issue, I am thinking about adding wheel spacers. Is this a good idea since the truck is lift? I would guess it adds more stability and a wider stance. So far its just my stock wheel/tire combo. Should i get the alignment before or after the spacers or it doesn't really matter? Any help guys?

I don't know if the spacers will affect the alignment too much but as a rule of thumb I would get the spacers on first before the alignment just in case. Also I would check into which spacers would be best because I have heard horror stories of people running cheap wheel spacers and breaking them on trails. I would just recommend saving up and getting wider wheels all together. A wider stance when lifted is usually a good thing since it offsets the increased top heaviness from being set higher up when lifted.

Got my alignment done in Temecula on my lunch break. Front tires look good now and steering feels better. I guess I'll just stick to stock offset for now.
Thanks Everyone
