how do you keep alignment?

i think im gonna order up the truss and have a local rock shop build me some heavy duty tie rods. does that sound sufficient? think i need anything else upfront?

lifetime alignment eh? never knew such a thing existed. solid investment though.
i usually just deal with the alignment untill it gets dangerous, not the smartest thing to do, i know, but when that happens i break out the tape measure and get it as close as i can myself, and then make it so it tracks straight down the road.

I paid $120.00 for my lifetime alignment at firestone. I've been there 3 times and I'm taking the rig back there soon. The # 1 thing any off road rig needs.

I sell on average 2-4 Lifetime alignments a day.
Quite a good deal, if you ask me.
If you want to drive to Houston, I will do them for cheaper than that!!!

Anyone with idler arm problems? These usually tend to cause the most slop in the steering once they wear out. Total Chaos makes a beefy idler arm- anybody running one of these?
