B--L S--t Alert Just finished t bar crank on my crew. I really cranked mine 1.5" and watched while it was alligned with nothing but a couple of wrenches with no problems whatsoever as long as there is enough adjustment in the front end and the porkchop isn't bottomed out you should have no problems.

Did you get a print out?

Read this thread and if he can't show you diffrent specs, get you money back and never darken his doorway again!

The bars can be tightened beyond where the caster and camber can be properly adjusted.
It may be necessary to back them down a little to get enough adjustment in the excentrics.

Did you take it to a dealership? If so, get your money back and go elsewhere.

Some alignment shops will do the TB crank for ya....just a thought.
