XREAS Mistake... Information/Advice?

I ended up going with the Bilstein 5100's all around. I purchased them from allprooffroad.com. They had a great price just like another member said... and on top of that, there was a 5% off coupon floating around out there:
5-OFFCOUPON

New shocks on the way for under 4 bills!! Anybody have any experience with powder coating coil overs?
 
The ride is amazing... You will be stoked.

Looking forward to it! Been a week since I ordered the shocks from allprooffroad.com and they haven't shipped out yet. Called them today and they said they had a computer failure on Monday, and it should ship out today.

However, after asking to have the package expedited, they said I will have it by the end of day tomorrow via expedited shipping. :hatsoff:

Will update upon project completion.
 
Everything's finished! It wasn't too difficult of a job to complete... and the rear was very easy. I did the spacers + Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks in the front (set to 0" lift) and the regular 5100's in the rear. The ride is amazing. Feels like I'm on a cloud. The rear feels a bit stiff when hitting bumps with the 2" spacer lift + Bilstein, but still better than stock. I think the rear actually came off the ground when hitting a speed bump pretty quickly... but still no complaints. It's a very nice ride all around. Thanks for the help with XREAS guys.

Is it just me, or does the camber look REALLY off in this pic (below)? I had it aligned at a Big O Tires shop... I knew I shouldn't have taken it there but they hooked me up since I just purchased those tires from them a couple weeks ago. The camber is quite a bit off when looking at the vehicle from the front so I'm going to take it back in when I get time or get my money back and go somewhere else.

An alignment is more about the tech performing it then the place. Can you scan your alignment printout? This will tell us how good / bad the camber is.

Right! By Big O Tires I hoped to imply that they're usually a bunch of teenagers/young adults...which in my case it was. The place has one of the best alignment machine setups available (according to the manager). The tech said he adjusted it to "stock" settings but was unable to provide a printout because their printer wasn't working. Shortly after I left I finally found the recommended alignment settings from Toytec for the 3" spacer kit I installed. Their recommendation is camber = 0 and toe = 0.04 degrees. When I go back and have them put it back up on their lift I'll see what he adjusted it to before adjusting it to Toytec's recommended settings.
