you can put them on yourself but only a shop can make sure your camber is correct.. if you havent bought the camber kit yet.. please please please get full replacement parts and not just washers

Wrong. You can do your own alignments with nothing more than a flat surface, some tape measures, some nylon string, a builders square and a small ruler. You would be amazed how close I can get. Caster is the only tricky thing to set yourself. It is not adjustable on a stock suspension (1G anyway), so that eliminates that. Using my method, I was only 0.1 degrees off on my camber.

Not to bust your balls or anything, but some people have more mechanical skills than others. You happen to be one of those few. I would suggest to anyone to do their own alignment, espesially if they don't even know how to install a camber kit.

yeah it is possibe to do your own, but $50 isn't that much to save the heartache of trying to do your own alignment.

I'm curious also.

I'm putting mine on this week.

What are some things I need to look for when installing the kit?

yeah its only $40 bux for a 4 wheel alignment here and it takes about 2 hours. i would rather let someone else do it..
