Alignment cams ???

I just came back from getting my Helo Maxx 6 wheels and Nitto 295/70-17's on my truck - they look great !

When I was there, the guy at the counter said in order for them to align my truck after adding a 2 1/2" spacer in the front (it's a 4X2) I have to buy a alignment cam set and have them installed on the lower control arms - to the tune of $350 ! WTF ?!?

Has anyone else heard of this ? Or are they just trying to drive up the money they can get out of me while they have it up on the rack ?

Thanks !

I don't know about the 04-07's, but adjustable camber bolts for the 97-03's are around $40 at most parts stores. Look them up at one of the chain parts store websites like Advance Auto.

I'm going to check with the alignment guy that did my 39 Ford - he can align anything.

By the way - I spent 3 1/2 hours in 4 Wheel Parts waiting to get my wheels put on. What a waste of time. I tried to take them home and throw them on myself but they kept saying it was only going to be a little longer, and longer and longer.

If you want something done right or on time - do it yourself. Even with the wait it came out looking GREAT !
