But also due to debating the need or not for LCAs. I'd rather not have to shell out the extra $$ (have the Xterra to refurb too, and a wife to keep happy!), but I'm concerned that I get the right settings after the install. I don't want to put everything on and drive it to the alignment place (35 miles one way) and find out the rear can't be dialed in. Still hemming and hawing about that.

Speaking of dialing it in, I've never dealt with requesting any sort of specific alignment specs before (like hey, I want about -1 deg front camber). Is my local tire place going to be able to do that, or are they more likely in the business of just setting things to factory spec?
Check your local forum on here for a recommended alignment shop. Sometimes even if you give a shop specs to hit they won't even bother.

You don't "need" rear camber adjustment. It's nice to have and I'd want it. But if money is tight it's not the end of the world, you'll just have a tiny bit more than you want and it could be slightly uneven. Not the end of the world.
