Talked to Local Monro Shop about alignment for my Truck, Said he needed specs for it with 3" Drop Springs, What have you done about getting Your Truck done with a Drop?

He stated that he would need these ### to plug into Computer to do the Job, How would i Find Them?

Thanks, Rick

I don't see why a drop would change your alignment specs. That's why you should go with spindles, it's much easier to get the alignment done right.

spindles or springs, the specs should be the same.
Is there another shop you can go to? One that ain't scared?

Now that I think about it, when I had mine aligned a few years back, they only had specs for 73+ PU's, so, they went with that. My front end has been great with whatever those numbers are.

Rick,

I had the same issue...the computer couldn't tell them how to align it...so i called a local hot rod shop and asked them who they take their rides too....they referred me to an old cat that has been doing it for 30 years....He used nothing but mechanical tools (no 'puters), cursed me for taking it to a puter aligner, and told some really great stories....all for $60!!!...Try that if you can!...
Also, cparman always seems to be good with this stuff...PM him too...
