Going to be a while before I can gather the help I need to do mine - will certainly update when I do get it done! Looking forward to seeing yours, I know you're installing it soon. Good luck!

I know this will not help but I just recently made some changes.
FJ springs in front with 5100's at 1.75, and a Daystar Budget Boost Spacer - 2" net! That's roughly 4 net inches in the front. 1.75+2"+FJ's = 4ish
I have 2 inch Toytec Superflexes in back right now. Going to cut down my Daystar 1.5's to 1 inch in rear.
Right now I have a 1/4 diff front to rear measurements.
Aligned on thursday and all is in spec with stock UCA's. Now there is NO more adjustment possible for the Caster, so i am barely in sync.

Gonna go with Cornfed 1" for the rear. Nervous about the variation in lift I'm seeing from the FJ springs, but hope it turns out OK. Evan B's initial rake makes me feel good about 1" rather than 1.5". PharmSCrunner's FJ + 2/1 makes me hope I don't get reverse rake. Oh well, I can fix it if I have to.
I got less than 1/4" front lift from the FJ springs. If it were me, I would install the 5100's at 1.75" and then check it/drive it before I added any rear spacers.
I have FJ springs all around with a 1" daystar spacer (2" lift) and I still have about an inch of front rake, side steps are pretty much level.
Well, if nothing else I am at least now confident that I won't be gaining rake. 2-2.75 up front, 1.25 or a little more in rear. i would rather maintain factory rake than have any reverse at all
Don't know a lot about alignments beyond some basic run-downs I've seen online.
Is there a place I can find specs to give Firestone or whichever shop? They said all they'd have is the stock specs so they can align it to that, but I should bring in new ranges if I can.
Basically, what do I need to know going into the alignment?
