Default Good 4x4/alignment shop in So. Cal.

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the forum so greetings to you all! I was wondering if any of you know a good/experienced 4x4 service/alignment shop in So. Cal. (LA area). I have an '05 Sequoia with DR front coilovers, Camburg uppers, and a diff drop spacer. The shocks are set at the 2" factory pre-set. My problem is that the 33" tires I installed are rubbing the rear of the wheel well pretty bad. According to the research I did, the tires were supposed to clear. WRONG! Now, $2500 later, I have a nice looking rig that can't even make it up my driveway without rubbing! In addition, the car pulls to the right and under heavy braking pulls to the left! All of these I was told are alignment issues.

I've heard correcting the alignment should help and possibly raising the shocks to 2.5" of lift but I really don't see how that could make a difference with the rubbing since aligning the front won't move the wheel's position in the well. More lift would only set the wheel even more to the rear. Right now they seem to be closer to the rear than front.

Also, do any of you have any comments about the camburg arms? I have one arm that groans like mad and also makes a clunking/rattling/grinding/vibrating sound even with the slightest movement of the steering wheel or road bumps(I'm assuming its the arm). I can even sense the clunking under my drivers' side floorboard and feel a looseness in my steering wheel. It just doesn't feel right, like somethings coming undone.

I had all the work done at Demello and they seem to have a good reputation but the problem's been there since day one and no one and Demello could figure it out. Just wondering if you guys can give me any feedback regarding this, maybe similar experiences, and possibly directing me to a good 4x4/alignment shop that works on trucks like this and can solve my problems once and for all.

Thanks in advance to anyone with feedback!
