I had an awful experience in Johnstown PA at Monroe muffler the day I put the kit on and they were the only ones who had a rack open. I knew I was pretty much asking for poor service when I walked in the door of a budget shop but I was desperate. Then I tried my luck at Spitzer Toyota and the tech there was confused on what I even wanted when I said "caster". Same experience at Highland Integrity Alignment in Natrona Heights. JMA Collision Center of Johnstown did as well as they could after I hit a deer, but alignments aren't really their thing so I cant blame them.
I'm running the Dobinsons UCA's as well as a fresh set of OEM LCA's that have been bathed in marine grade anti-seize. Everything will move so hitting 4* should be possible. If anyone can point me in the direction of someone who has experience with aligning 4Runners it would be much appricated. I'm willing to drive for the right shop. I want this to be the last time I need to visit a shop.
* Note.. Calling out these shops is in no way a personal attack. I'm only giving my single experience.

The only alignment I have had done on mine was right after I purchased my brand new 4R. The vehicle did not track straight and steering wheel was slightly off center. I purchased new and had the alignment done by Baierl Toyota in Mars/Cranberry Township, PA. Granted my 4R was completely stock but they were able to get everything in line and within spec and I have not had problems since. They even offered me the option to come back in any time if it seemed off to make it right. Not sure if this was because it was new or not but their service was great for this issue.
