I was wondering about that. Do you recall what was unique about the alignment shop you used?

I was going to take it to a shop I used to work at, trusting that they would do it right. Concern is if the alignment heads will be able to be mounted to the wheels without fender interference. My tires are just slightly tucked. I did lift up the back end with some smaller drop blocks. As of now, the lip of the wheel isn't tucked so I'm hoping it will work out.

My other alternative is to set up my truck nice and level and do it myself with a purchased alignment gauge. It won't be as accurate as a modern alignment machine, but I think if one took their time getting everything set up it should come out pretty good.
