Question Front end alignment

I just lowered my Lightning 2", i took it to have the front end aligned and i was told i would have to remove the front lower ground effects to be able to do a "camber sweep". I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. The guy is supposed to have the latest equipment.

Just a heads up, if you have under 12K miles, a Ford dealer will do a front end alignment for free, there's a TSB on it I think, just got mine doen at 9,000, and got the clunk fix.

Not if you swapped the springs, they probably won't, true?
Had mine alligned after BellTech springs. They had to install cam adusters. Didn't have to remove any ground effects. Find another shop..
Good Luck!

Thanks for the help, I found another shop. Got it aligned with no problem. BTW I lowered it using new lower control arms.
