alignment after doing a DJM 2/4 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 havent called yet. when i called sears auto center they said that all they would be able to do is adjust the toe. they wouldnt 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 everytime 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 sometimes the streetscenes forums takes a while to respond.

first thing that would help us, is to let us know where ur located to head you the right direction.. I know here in FL thiers all kinds of custom shops u could go to.. MOST likely is firestone, sears, goodyear, tire kingdom, tires plus etc.. will not know what to do with a custom suspension setup (non factory)

Any "good" alignment shop will be able to get you back to factory specs. With my 2/4 drop NTB hooked me right up. Good alignment tech there.
