    Yeah maybe ill just ask em if I can do it, lol. Goodyear by my house used to let me do my honda on thier machine, cuase I have alot more than what the stock JK has to adjust now, which is my concern. Control arms, trackbars, etc etc.. I was looking for more of an offroad shop.

    make friends with a mechanic at a local place that has good alignment equipment. then you can get them to adjust things how you want.

    It will depend on the shop, Ive had good luck with the Mavis in East Northport, but the one in HUntington did a shitty job and then tried to blow smoke up my ass

    truck shop is 130, that includes 4 wheel aligment.. The only thing i didnt like what the fact they did it without asking. I put my jeep in there to find the cause of my horrible death wobble. i didnt ask them to do 4 wheel or an alignment at all... they called me saying they fixed it meanwhile i just wanted to know the cause...
    Its a jeep thing...

    Reviving and old thread.

    I just redid (dis-assemble, clean, grrease and reassemble) all the Johnny Joints on my long arm and would like to get everything aligned and my pinion angles checked (changed springs).
    Anyone know of or have experience with a good alignment shop for a lifted and abused JK?

    I still say a good tape measure and a set of jack stands is as good as any machine. pinion angle is as simple as looking if its lined up with the yoke.
    not a hard thing to do by any means. Good tolerances can be achieved with the same precision as any machine. Plus I just dont trust anyone putting their hands on my Jeep ahhahahah
