    Firestone because I have a lifetime. They suck, but it's a sunken cost at this point.

    I'm going to give Firestone a shot but I'll hit you up if they fail me... again.

    I’ve heard bad things about firestone service. Don’t have any personal experience with them but I’ve heard stories

    You are also taking in a truck that you know is not able to be aligned, and then throwing shade to the company for them not being able to align your truck... o_O

    Negative. I notify them that I expect camber to be out and they manage to get it to the best of their abilities. It's hit or miss if you get a guy that is willing to try and push numbers to your requested specs.

    I don't give them a truck that has bad suspension components and then get disgruntle when they tell me the suspension components are bad.

    How about no... Alignments are not fun to do. Especially on broken rigs like ours.

    Now if you want to keep this offer on a 2 post lift; I'm listening.

    It's not too bad with a good machine, I've done my own on a Hunter machine while in Fort Worth

    I've done them professionally on cars that were not modified/lifted and I hate it. I'm way too OCD.

    If you're doing the same vehicle over and over it's simpler. The shop I was doing it at only works on Toyotas so the same 6 adjustment sites on the front end

    You get lucky. If you can find one with an OG alignment guy he will do wonders. Also wheel works if they are around you is also the same company as firestone. Last few times I could not get an alignment right. Went back 3 times. Manager told me one guy if it could be done would be him. I thought he gave it a shot and could not even get close to 3 castor. Just got another one done and wheel works push it out past 3 on castor and the rest in spec. Go figure last time some other guy did the alignment. Its been hit or miss for sure but as @desertjunkie760 said its a sunk cost so I am going to milk it.
