Gang:
I had been told by the tech at MorRyde when I got my disk brakes that my trailer axles were bent, and wheels out of alignment. A nice lady trucker at a rest stop in Iowa also walked up to me to tell me that especially my rear tires were toeing inward (camber adjustment off). I was originally thinking I would just drive as is back home to California and then get it fixed, but i met a very nice Bighorn owner who is camp host at the fairgrounds in Hastings, Nebraska. He told me about an alignment shop, Bear Frame and Alignment, in nearby Kearney, Nebraska that was recommended to him, and that he was very satisfied with. I called ahead to the alignment shop and it sounded like he could do the job quickly and easily. I was backed into their service bay as soon as I arrived, and they got the job done in an hour keeping me on schedule with my driving for the day, and my campground reservations. Stan Lundgred, the owner/tech used a sophisticated laser alignment system along with a u shaped bending rig and a 10 ton air jack. He had to get 6 computer bars correct for each axle, and he knew just how to do it.
The price was fair, and after the job was done I mentioned how some people are leery of "axle bending". He said that he has gotten new replacement axles in for vehicles, and they are routinely out of alignment and need bending.
So I am a satisfied customer, referred by another Bighorn owner.
Here is their contact data:
