I insisted that they did the previous alignment and even show them my receipt which I keep in my file. They even charged me $80 because they had put in on the lift. Left dealer and drove straight to a local tire house. $60 and they aligned it no problem. No camber bolt kit mentioned. EFFIN DEALERS! This was August 2006. Alignment still holding good. Have not and will not ever take my truck into a dealer for ANY servicing again. IMO They are as crocked as any politician.

Well I do admit some dealers can be retarded. I was lucky enough to be able to just use the equipment. But it was at a chevy dealer....yes....yes....I know.

Installed my AS 2.5" in Spring 2007.
Drove for about 1,000 miles without an alignment. Tires started to get that cupped look.
Went to Firestone and got an alignment done and rotated the tires.
1 Yr and 10,000 miles later
tires are wearing perfectly
truck drives straight as an arrow.
