    I currently have 5100s in the front, but am going to swap out the coils to OME 885 and the UCA to SPC. Does anyone have any alignment shop recommendations in the area - as Close to San Mateo as possible - that has experience with lifts as well as the SPC UCAs? I don’t understand alignment at all, so I’m going to need to trust and rely entirely on the expertise of the guys at the shop.

    Thanks.

    No normal alignment shop will know anything about adjustable control arms, I went to Auto Innovations who deals with modded cars and adjusted my SPC's during my alignment.

    Milpitas is a lot farther than I’d like to go.
    Does anyone have any experience with ABC Toy Garage in Belmont or California Concepts in Redwood City?

    It's only a 30 minute drive, I drove down from San Francisco to use them because I know that they know how to work with modded and lifted trucks and cars.

    I'll second @BartMaster1234 on Auto Innovations. Orlando and Mike really did an awesome job making sure everything was dialed in. Haven't been to the shops you mentioned OP (on the Peninsula) but if you absolutely need one over there - I have used Custom Alignment in Mountain View. You'll need to make an appointment and they charge $195 but they do know what they are doing.

    Auto Innovations and their handiwork -
