Just finished installing the lift and it's at the alignment shop right now. They claim that they will make the control arm adjustments to dial in castor. I told them to set it at 5 degrees. I took it to Goodyear. Has anyone found that alignment shops torque down control arm bolts while the jeep is on the lift, or are most shops aware that this should be done while the jeep is on the ground? I had about as straightforward an install as I could have expected. I'd hate for the alignment shop to mess up all my hard work. Any thoughts?

Just got it back from the alignment shop. Wow did MC do a fantastic job in the engineering dept!!! Exceeded all my expectations!!! My only concern is that my caster front left vs. front right is off. Should I be concerned? How do the other numbers look?

Well it looks like they hadn't touched the control arms judging by the castor specs. Not sure how 1/2 turn in on the passenger side lower control arm correlates to degrees but seems like a possibility.

its normal for the sides to be off by that much. It looks like your camber is pretty high tho. at least the driver side camber. should drive nice with the caster at over 5* tho.

I thought camber can't be changed. Does that mean I did some damage to the C's?
