4 Wheel Alignment Recommendations

Unread post by BigRed28 »

Just installed a 2.5in Metalcloak lift with 315s. Adjustable upper control arms and adjustable front trackbar. Everything feels great but I think an alignment or at least a check would be good to confirm. Any recommendations on a good 4 wheel alignment shop? I'm in Medford for location reference would could make a drive farther out.

Thanks,
-Zach

I tried Ratchets in Pelham NH after my Metalcloak install and was not pleased with the outcome, but others I’ve spoken with have had zero issues with them.

Can you explain what your issue with them was?

The alignment wasn’t right, ended up taking it to a different shop and it was all out of whack. Tracking weird, borderline death wobble and not real confidence inspiring on road.

I might’ve caught them on an “off” day as I could name off a few other people that have not had those issues.
