alignment after 2/4 DJM drop.

hey guys, i got the truck all together and now i need to figure out how to get this thing aligned. i have called a couple places like Firestone, and Sears auto center. there are a couple more places that can do alignments that i haven't called yet. when i called sears auto center they said that all they would be able to do is adjust the toe. they wouldn't be able to adjust the camber or caster. i tried my hardest to put the bolt right back where it was from the factory but there is no way that its going to be right. i had a hard enough time trying to get the thing to stay put because every time you try to turn the bolt it would screw up the camber. anyone got any ideas on how i can get them to adjust everything? i dont really want to be driving around in my truck with the camber all out of wack. i know i posted this in two places but i thought it would be best so that i can get opinions from people that dont ever come to the street scenes forum.

I just took it to my local shop and they only took an hour to align everything for 100 bucks.

Try calling local drop shops and ask who does alignments for their vehicles. I took my truck to a shop that 4 WheelsParts recomended and they did a great job! Steering wheel alignment was left like factory. I also had them tack weld the pivot bolts since I didn't buy the camber/caster washers.
