Alignment Question

Hey guys, I just finished up my suspension lift on my expedition with new spindles and spacers. I replaced upper and lower ball joints, sway bar end links, and got new camber kits with more adjustment. Due to this my alignment is obviously way off. My question is can I get it alligned with the stock tires and still be okay when I put on much larger tires? Basically I'm just looking at it from a cost perspective. Its going to be cheaper to take it to a place that does alignments for stock wheels and tires vs taking it to my local 4wheelparts which is much more expensive since they do the alignment with the bigger tires. I'm not sure if the alignment is affected by the bigger tires so I need to know if I should wait to get it aligned when I have the new tires or if I can just go ahead and do it now. Thanks for your help!

Yes you can use the stock tires. The tire wheel combo doesn't change the aspect of the front end. You may need to use the stock tires for the alignment any time, as many places can not handle large wheels.

agreed, steering geometry is the same with any size wheels
