upgrading suspension tomorrow and have question about bump steer

[mavericks-03svt]

Well I am installing H&R spring, MM caster/camber plates, and Steeda Bumpsteer Kit tomorrow. I am not sure what shop I will take it to for the alignment yet and I don't think there is any shop around my area that will be able to bump steer it correctly. I don't have a bump steer gauge. Have any of you just installed the kit and eyeballed the angle of the tie rods compared to the LCA and not had any problems. I searched everywhere and saw some people built a home made gauge and some ordered the MM gauge, but I could not get an exact answer on if the bump steer gauge is a necessity or if eyeballing it will work.

These instructions make it seem easy and I am sure I am over thinking this, but I don't want to run into trouble tomorrow morning.

nope i bought regular nuts to tighten the bump steer kit down and just trailers mine to the shop for a bumpsteer/alignment. I could have just drove it since i bought nuts to tighten it but i did front/rear and a tune so i just trailered her down.

Thanks. I guess I will eyeball it and then I will need to find an alignment shop in waco that can adjust the bump steer. How much extra did your shop charge to adjust the bump steer?

You are pretty close to Dallas, so I am sure that there is a shop that can do the alignment for you. Go over to the regional forums and ask there.
