wait I'm sorry... whats leaking water have to do with your alignment ( wheel alignment? )

Anyway for your wheel if thats what your talking about, we got a place here in toen thats under 40 buck for the front and like another 15 to do the rear.... there is also this other place that does a "lifetime" one but it's 80 bucks and if you can your own tires, rims ect it voids the warranty which is just gay.

You can only align the front with a solid rear axle.

How bad is it leaking? I've never been around one that doesn't leak a little. A body shop will charge you a lot to line up the body lines because it's very time consuming, and takes more than one person.

It leaks from both the driver and passenger side kick panels

when its raining it leaks enough to get the carpets soaked

what sucks is the water carries along the dash and drips on the middle hump too which means i have to remove my radio every time it rains

Damn dude that sounds pretty bad. Are you sure it's not the bottom of the windshield leaking?

They make a cover for it. You live in LA so I would buy the cover and put it in the truck until it rains.
