Let me know if you find a shop that can actually get it aligned properly.
I actually took it to the dealer because I had a bad feeling about some of these tire shops doing it. It took them a while because they had to make several adjustments but they got me in the green. Autonation Ford on Blanding.

I don’t know exactly what it was. I saw it was green on the screen when he showed me that he was having issues with the front. I think that was just from stuff that got moved around during the spring install. The guy definitely knew what he was doing. The screen literally tells them what to adjust to get it right. Didn’t get the printout now that you said that. Hopefully they keep them. I have to go back to get a new shock when it comes in. We found one leaking during spring install. They covered it under warranty because I took a picture with the factory springs still installed and went to the dealer the following day for the alignment.

Yea the link I posted on page one of this thread is those instructions with the picture. That’s literally what pops up on their alignment screen to make adjustments. At least at the dealership I was at. Can’t say the same for these random tire shops. When they told me they were having issues and brought me back into the bay I expected them to show me the rear being off but it was the front. I told them to do what they had to do to get it right. It was a good 3-4 hours playing the back and forth game of making adjustments and putting it back on the alignment rack. Not your typical alignment for sure.

It doesn’t have the part about jacking up the rear end and taking the weight off the wheels.

I'd join, but I'll be in Vegas for CES.
