Here’s another level that I use to put a more professional twist on the alignment.
Rim Clamp $129

Add to that a Digital Angle gauge $25

You can also use a no-name bubble camber gauge or spend a couple more dollars and get a Longacre or other name brand. Either of these will make measuring the Caster and Camber much easier.

Thanks for the kind comments. Thanks for the suggestion Jieiku1325. I reloaded the Budget Outlaws website to a free hosting service that will house the alignment spreadsheet as well as other info. The website name is CHANGED to budgetoutlaws.great-site DOT net the spreadsheet is on the downloads page. There is a direct link in the description. Yeah I didn't come up with the great-site thing, it was the only free option that made sense.
Hey there! I just wanted to let you know that the link no longer seems to be working. I was wondering if you could re-upload the excel file again. The video was really helpful, thanks so much!
@@andrewasbill3690 Andrew I was able to download it just now at this link. budgetoutlaws.great-site.net/file-downloads.html?i=1 if it still doesn't work send me a message at budgetoutlaws@pacbell.net and I'll email it to you.
@@budgetoutlaws9978 The link worked now, much appreciated!
Fantastically great video!! Thank you for taking the time to show us your knowledge. When I went to school for this, I was taught how to do an alignment without the machine before I was taught how to do it with a machine. That was a long time ago with no Internet. Lol. Thank you again for the great work that you are doing.
Great video, you have helped me understand alignment much better.
Outstanding video! Thanks so much for putting this out there.
Thanks much appreciated.
Thank you for such an informative and helpful lesson. I've been struggling for days trying to realign my 06 Tundra after a front end rebuild. I've watched so many videos and read so much on forums, but you're video is by far the crème de la crème! Thank you!
could you upload the spreadsheet someplace, the link no longer works.
Glad it helped
Very useful thanks
Thank you so much. The spreadsheet works a treat. New subscriber ❤

Well done thanks
Such an incredible video. Straight and to the point.
Awesome dudes
Good stuff 👏
loved the links!
Thank you so much for the information .🎉

Watched this, then thought.... strings, how 2020, it's 2024 and I got a pair of lasers. Lined the laser levels up 6in from rear hubs, turned them so they same from front hub and it worked great. Used it to measure camber and caster too since it projects a nice vertical plane.
This video has inspired me to lookup my local tire shop and pay them to do it! 😂👍
Always a solid choice!
So here what I know with my 25 years in shops doing alignments.
It's very very hard to find an alignment guy that really knows what's going on and does the entire job and does it correctly. I see it over and over that shops never do a second caster swap to verify their adjustments. Techs just skip rear adjustments. 99.5% of them have never loaded the driver with weight during the alignment. It can change things ALOT. Shops just make the light turn green. Side to side difference maybe in spec but at the edges and that can be over 1 deg difference. Doesn't sound like much but it is.
Very helpful, I love it. Going to try this soon. Never quite understood how the string alignment worked.
Glad it helps. Feel free to ask questions as you get to it. I'm sure I left something out trying to keep the video to a reasonable length.
Great video.
Good info. I'm sure you'll get a lot of views with this video.
Long term I suspect your right. But our goal is to give our current and future subs quality content they can use or at least enjoy. We're constantly upgrading equipment and processes to make higher quality and enjoyable content.
Hi, I recommend that you give a degree to mm converter so as to avoid the inches fraction challenge.
Not a bad suggestion. For me I would have to convert back to fraction because that's how I see it in my head. But I'm sure someone can use that and maybe make it simpler for them.
@@budgetoutlaws9978 Appreciated. For the same reason as you, visualizing- having been taught more using metric than inches, am sure several users would need too.
Does anyone have a copy of the spreadsheet? The link no longer works.
Hi, Sorry we had to let the website go. If you send me an email to BudgetOutlaws@pacbell.net I can send you a copy. Thanks for the interest.
@@budgetoutlaws9978 Thank you, I sent you an email, also I am wondering if it might be a good idea to upload the spreadsheet to someplace like google spreadsheets, I could do that for you if you wanted? Then it would be available online for free for all :)
@@jieiku I'm looking for a solution. If you know of a place that has no monthly costs please let me know. You should have the spreadsheet in your email inbox. Thanks
Dan
@@budgetoutlaws9978 Thank you, I got the spreadsheet, if you have a google account you can upload the spreadsheet straight there, it is free and you can share it publicly www.google.com/sheets/about/
@@jieiku Thanks But I got off my duff and found a free site to upload the Budget Outlaws website to.
I cant make it far enough to learn anything, something about the tone and speed is making me vary depressed.
