Glad to know you're still here. I have a question. I intend to have a shop align the front end of my 4x4 to your specs. on a Hunter 611. Shop personnel have never aligned a Tundra and they are a bit different. I have the shop manual and have pretty much figured out how to do this myself, while the tech looks on, if it comes to that.

I notice that the heads on the adjustment bolts are about 1/2 normal thickness and must be tightened to 96 foot-pounds following adjustment of the eccentric cams. How in the world do you get on those bolt heads with a 22mm socket and a torque wrench with the rack boot in the way? My thinking is that it may be necessary to remove the clamp on the small end of the boot and compress the boot until it's no longer an obstacle, providing that's possible. Is this the correct way to do it or would it be just as acceptable to work with a box end wrench and pull the bolt up as tight as possible by hand while leaving the boot alone?
