Thanks for the help guys. I will be back at 4wheel parts this week to have them try it again. If they dont get it right the 3rd time I will ask for a refund and try to find another place. Hopefully they get it right this time. They did not recommend the Cam kits. Are these necessary?

No the cam kits are not needed. Should be just a simple toe in correction. assuming they can handle simple?

Also get the print out from the alignment to see exactly what they corrected.

You should see the Terra Grapplers on my friend's chevy. His alignment was off and man his tires are cupped so bad.

When I had my truck aligned after the Bilstein 5100 install, all it required was a small toe adjustment. Everything else was perfect, and the cam bolts were not touched.
It rides and tracks perfectly.
