    Just did a 3" lift on my 22 Tacoma (Bilstein 6112/5160 with JBA upper control arms) and I have contacted numerous shops and all refuse to touch a lifted truck. Blows my mind that this is so difficult to get done considering I see lifted trucks everywhere.

    Bonus if it was also a tire shop that offers road force balancing.

    I have found a shop called Sibi Built LLC in Anaheim which is 2 hours away from me (im in Lancaster). I'll drive that to get it done right but just wanted to check if there was another shop like that more local.

    When I did my 2in lift, Firestone did the alignment. They asked why I thought I needed an alignment and I said because of the new lift and they agreed it was time for an alignment and did it.

    I just made sure to take off my LCA skids ahead of time to not make more work for them.

    You might mention which particular Firestone worked with you.
    Different shops have different managers who may have different ideas about lifted vehicles.

    ×2, not making them have to work around skids / take them off can help in finding someone more agreeable to do the job.

    There's also always the DIY route too (it's not near as hard as many think, especially if you're mechanically-inclined at all).

    I've had one done at Firestone in Downey and another at Firestone in Santa Ana. They both pushed my caster forward per my request.
