    I am installing Bilstein 5100 2.5inch and ICON tubular upper control arm and was wondering if I can take it to a normal shop for an alignment after the install or should I take it to an off-road/4x4 shop?

    Yep, just take it to a normal shop. Best if you're using a shop familiar with lifted vehicles, as they won't achieve factory numbers.

    I commonly use Firestone, with great results.
