Alignment Specs

[Richm]

New Grant Alloy wheels and 285/70r 17 Falken Rubitrek tires and then

Installed the Peak Suspension 1 1/4” front strut spacer and 1” rear spring spacer and now need an alignment. Measuring the bottom lip on the rockers, there’s 3/4” rake. Contemplating pulling the front and doing a full 2” spacer………….that would level it out according to the rocker measurements and gain a little more in the front wheel well…

But anyways, I’ve been to 2 places and they can’t align it because their equipment hasn’t been updated to include the 24’s. Dealer is like 3 weeks out and I don’tt really want to wait that long…..
Where has everyone else been getting theirs done? Could the alignment shop just put it in as a 23 and then align it to certain specs? If so does anyone know the specs?

thanks in advance!

My local Goodyear has the 2024 Tacoma alignment spec. I'm shocked you're dealership didn't.

I would expect the 24 spec to hold for 25.

Goodyear said they get the updates for new models once per year, usually in January.

I’m sure the dealership does have the specs. I’ve been to 2 tire shops that do alignments and they haven’t been able to do it.
The dealer is a little over 2 weeks out for appointments right now so was hoping to find a way to do it before that long of a wait.

Ah. Misunderstood. Took dealer as 3wk out to be they wouldn't be getting their update until then. Not that you already had an appt then.

just tires , wheels
went back to deal with a vibration at 72mph 2 weeks after the new tires
had a slight odd feel to the steering wheel
so I had them do the alignment at the same time
one wheel was slightly outta balance
and then the issues with the front end .
matter of an old habit when I get new tires I always align 2 protect my investment

So odd.. my dealer shows caster needs to be 2.8+… yours shows a much lower range and the way you had it initially would have passed spec according to my readout from the dealer ..see below … is it different for different trims?
