Default TRD and Alignment

So I was sifting through the instructions that come with the TRD lowering springs and it says you can get it checked but shouldn't need it. Not their exact words but basically so figured I'd post this.
Before:

After:

Go ahead and don't get an alignment. It drove straight sure. Tires sure would not have lasted long I know that much.

Was this done without getting the a-ruca? I've been off the forums a while but I was under the impression that the camber would always be out of spec without getting this?

Nope everything stock except springs. Trd are only a 1 inch lower. This alignment was actually done by my buddy and was totally screwed after. He was by no means an alignments specialist. So I took it to a guy who specializes and it's not only -1.4 on both sides and -0.3 in front.

Dutch,
So how were they able to adjust the alignment in the rear without a set of A-RUCAs? Also, did you use camber bolts in the front, or is there a way for slight adjustments in the front without them?

Nope no adjustment I'm front or rear for camber. Only toe for front and rear. No camber bolts just totally stock only adjusted toe. Trd springs don't drop much so not a big deal for camber.
