Tell them that the coach must be driven at least five miles to fully settle the suspension if they lift the coach or the wheels off the ground. Ask them not to alter ride height from the factory setting of front 13 1/8+- 1/4 and rear 11 11/16 same tolerance both measured from level ground to top of frame slot after coach has been driven to fully settle suspension. Target specs are zero camber, zero toe and max even caster (3 to 5 degrees is ideal if they can get it). Rears should be 1 to 2 degrees camber (top of tire in) and parallel with frame. If they do need to alter ride height insist on them using a torsion bar unloading tool to prevent stripping of the adjustment bolts.

Are there any special instructions or information I can provide the truck
center when doing a front end alignment? am rounding the outside edge from
the right front tire pretty badly. Had six wheel done 3 years ago and
everything has been great. Tracks straight and no wander. Scheduled Wednesday
9/7 a.m. appointment. Thanks in advance for your input.
