    Wheel Alignment Shop

    I just installed a Donahoe Racing 2 1/2" leveling kit on my 2006 F350 SD, CC. I went up to have the front end aligned and was told my truck wouldn't fit up on their rack. (I have SRW/Long Bed). I went to a Firestone shop hoping I could get a Lifetime alignment contract. I drove by a Goodyear shop and it was too long for their racks. I called Sears and they told me to bring it down and they'll take a look. Can anyone recommend a REPUTABLE shop that will do an alignment for me? I live in Anaheim, CA but work in El Segundo so I'm sure there is a shop between here and there. I would like to get a lifetime warranty, but will settle for a reputable shop I can rely on. Thanks!

    I would try to locate a big custom 4x4 shop in your area. Most of them usually have a rack that can fit a CCLB.

    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
    "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The American G. I.
    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

    I had the same issue. The only place I have found is the sears in West Covina. I also hear the Firestone in Hacienda Heights has a rack big enough. Kinda out of the way from you Sears is off the 10 and firestone is off the 60 and Azusa

    Best alignment shop I've found is B&D Alignment in Bellflower, CA.. 15812 Lakewood Blvd (562) 925-3320 - - Basically at Lakewood Blvd and Alondra. They have a pit not a rack so length is no issue and they do things the old fashioned way with rulers and straight edges. Better in my humble opinion with straight axles. They specialize in lifted 4 wheel drives and will even be able to fix the castor issue (although I think the DR kit comes with the castor cams). Talk to Jerry. He'll fix you up.

    Your in Anaheim, Try Buds Tire and Service in Riverside. There Visually right off the 91 freeway about 1 mile east of the Tylor mall exit. Sorry I cant remember the street name, its on the S. side of the 91. They can rack it. Talk to Bud, Owner, if he is in. They are the same guys that did my bed liner. When I first went in there two years ago to talk to them about the liner I had him throw it on the alignment rack and adjust it. Think it was under $100.00. My truck is a CClB 4x4 and they had no problems. They have a full length bay rack.

    The Firestone in Thousand Oaks did mine for me, and they were great, but it might be a little bit too far unless you are already up in the area for something else...

    The shop watersurgeon is talking about is on Indiana and Monroe. If you're coming from OC, exit Van Buren and make a left, you're on Indiana. If you're coming from SB county, exit Adams, turn left then right on Indiana. Indiana runs parallel to the 91. I have had them work on several of my vehicles and it is always quality work.
