I believe this is the correct location for this request, but if not, please move it and I will know for next time.

I am ready to install new Bilsteins, adjust the purple keys to their upper limit and have the front end realigned on my 06 Dually. I will use the dealer who has some good mechanics but want to have a backup plan should the truck not feel right after service. Does anyone have first hand experience in eastern NC with an alignment shop doing 4x4 that they would highly recommend? I am located in New Bern, NC about forty mile west of the Atlantic. Thanks

I would think any competent facility could align your truck, as long as your mods allow it to be aligned. There is a point when bars are cranked the stats can only come close.

Tim's right. I'm cranked enough to have 1/2" rake down to the front. I'm still in spec but out of caster adjustment. Damn close to out of camber adjust too. In my case it was up 9 LH and up 7.75 RH. I'm OK with that.

I took mine to Sears auto to have it aligned. Haven't been to New Bern in a long time, but I am sure there is a sears there.
