I have read in seperate places two contradicting answers to the question of alignment for these vehicles (Magnum RT in my case). Here is the scenario, I have a Magnum RT with Eibach Prokit, I also have BFg KDWS tires which are lower profile then the conti's. I would like to get it completely aligned so I do not get irregular wear on the tires. Is it possible for a regular shop to do this for me...Midas, Pepboys, etc...? Or do I have to take them special information for them to do this for me? Any help would be so greatly appreciated!
Thank you for taking the time to help me out,
Matt

Alignment worked fine for me with a little negative camber. Thats okay with me it corners better. Tire wear has been okay now have 21,000+ miles on my Nitto 420S'. Some people have had a real bad time with alignment. Go to knowlege base for past threads on this. Had mine done at Mr Tire.

Get the service manual. http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=24486

It will tell you exactly what alignment you should have. You can print the necessary page and hand it to them at any reasonable wheel shop. I really lik BigO Tire if you have one in your area. The two I've been to took really great care of me and my family.

If you haven't found a place yet, I got mine done at Earthbound Tire (ask for Vic). He took care of my rims, tires, drop and alignment. Earthbound is at 11527 Laurel Canyon, Mission Hills (off the I-5 at San Fernando Mission).

The service manual says exactly what the alignment should be (assuming stock tires). Any company that really knows alignment should be able to look at that and figure out what alignment should be used for a different tire.
