ive never heard of that.. you want it toed in 1/16" to 1/8". thats how i have mine for my 2000 with 4" lift. i just align myself too. save you $50. just need a tape measure and someone to make sure the tape is level when you are measuring the distances.

oh alright. it only takes me about 20 minutes to do mine if my tie rod cooperates with me. if youve never done it i might take a little but longer. but i have an aftermarket tie rod. the stock ones are super easy to do by yourself, as long as you can get it to turn.
