Default best alignment shop?

I was wondering if there is a knowledgeable Jeep alignment shop in SoCal? I am putting on a lift with adjustable track bars next week and want to make sure all settings are within manufacturer's specs. Thanks

We were in the same position after putting on my son's lift. A lot of people do their own alignments, and WOL has a great right-up on the forum on how to do it, but I wanted someone to give the whole suspension a going over to make sure we did everything correctly. So, rather than take his Jeep to an alignment shop that may not know anything about 4x4's, we took it to a local guy up here in Santa Clarita, Jim Cox, who is a Jeep expert. He double-checked and adjusted everything and fixed our goofs. He also installed the new driveshafts, which we weren't too excited about doing. That would be pretty far for you to drive, but if you want his info I'll PM it to you.

4 wheel parts does a great job. I wouldn't recommend ORW. I had to take mine to them several times to get it right. 4 wheel parts did it in one try.

Thanks. It's a bit too far, especially if I can't get it to align properly. I'll need a somewhat local shop.
