Re: A little help please
If your headed to the alignment shop and its in the general vicinity my suggestion would be to get them pointed in the general direction of forward. Them boys at the shop will get everything to spec, or as close as possible.
A lot will depend on how much room is available for camber adjustment. One can only assume you used 2 1/2"spindles and 2" springs to get the 4 1/2". I used spindles and cut I think 1/2 coil to get 3 1/2". That only required minor camber adjustment afterwords. I re-used all the rod ends as they were in pretty decent shape so toe-in adjustment was minor also. Yeah, I'd just get the tires both pointed the same direction. >>>toward the alignment shop.

Re: A little help please
Highsteel has it covered.
If "your" alignment shop can't handle it, find another shop.
