Question Help In Maryland

Hey guys, I live in Harford County MD and need some help. I just installed a 2" leveling kit on my 05 CTD 4x4 and the tire shop said they could not do a proper alignment. They said I need to take it to a shop that deals with lifted trucks to get it done right. I asked them if they could recommend one and they could not. They said they set it to factory spec but since it is 2" taller it needs to be done right. My steering wheel is now turned at around 12:30-12:45 when driving straight and I need to get that fixed. Does anyone know of a good shop in Harford County or near that they could recommend.


Thanks!

Sounds like your local tire shop is feeling lazy.

It also sounds like your tie rods need to be adjusted a little bit. It's not a big deal, I'm not sure why they don't want to just do it.

Just a quick search on Google I see Tire Village mentioned quite a few times, have you tried them?

I did not look into them since the shop I had taken the truck to told me that most regular shops would not be able to do it because of the lift. That is why I was looking for a place that dealt with lifted trucks and was hoping someone on here from the area could recommend a place. I was told that the numbers would not be the same as stock and they needed to know what the numbers should be in order to do it right. I am clueless when it comes to alignment issues so I am trying to find out the truth.

Thanks
