DAYSTAR leveling kit causes need for Alignment wedge???

ok, aligned truck week before leveling kit install and all was well.
after install of leveling kit, the Toe on both sides needed adjustment.
both went from 0.07 to 0.54. both sides were adjusted in spec.

i was told that i needed to cough up $306 for a Alignment cam?wedges for both sides since Cross Camber is out of spec. before kit it was 0.5 and now its 0.8 and was not adjusted.

is the ***Stone just wanting some extra cash or has anyone really experienced this?

when i asked about the alignment wedge, the guy that did the alignment specifically said to be careful if i did it myself.
the way he said, basically trying to scare me out of it, told me that they wanted to do it for the funds.

if i do need to add the wedge kit, where do i get it?

any responses would be great ly appreciated

Is he talking about camber bolts? Most parts stores sell them for less than $50.

Yep, those are adjustable camber bolts. The price he gave you sounds high even it it includes parts, labor and another alignment.

i have lifetime with xxxstone and yes, they are terribly high. along with that they quoted me $72 to flush brake lines and a whopping 25.99 for fuel filter part and 60.20 for removal/replacement and an extra $17.20 for skid plate interferance.

smokin crack is all i have to say. i swapped out the filter lat week in 10 minutes and there is no interferance of any kind.
