stupid alignment question..

ok, im doing a 5 lug conversion, and also upgrading my suspension a bit....
i'm noticing a bit of camber problem, and also a little pulling on the front....
is there any basic alignment things i can do myself, or do i need to take it
to an alignment shop to get it all set right?
i've got some new z rated tires that i really dont want to have ruined due to miss alignment...

thanks,
alan

You might as well get a real alignment then. Anytime you do major suspension work, you're alignment is going to be off. And having Z-rated tires, the effects of having bad alignment are going to be magnified. Just get it done at a real aligment place.

try an NTB or Tires Plus if you have one locally. They usually use some pretty good equipment to do alignment.

Make sure your alignment shop understands that the rears have to be aligned also.
