Looking for an alignment shop that will do more than a toe adjustment. Looking for axel center, and angles front and rear on top of toe. Hopefully one with a 30day plus warranty and closer to Galt.

I've always aligned the Jeep myself but with these new wheels and tires all my techniques have failed and I'm getting some random cases of death wobble. 

Any suggestions?

My only suggestion and he is a jeep JK guy is to take it to Les Schwab in Rocklin.  Call to make an appointment and ask for Rob Guzman.  Tell him I sent you.  He has done my alignment, Travis', Kevin's, Dave's, Brett's, and a few of my other friends.  He will take care of you and will do you a solid.  He has a jk on 40s and knows what he is doing when it comes to the alignment.  I believe it's around $70 too.  

Um...what?

Thanks guys after another 3 hours of work tonight, including completely resetting the front axel, I have never been more frustrated or terrified of this thing. I will be calling your guy tomorrow. 

 Do you guys have a specific location/phone# for this les Schwab or is it the only one in the area?

I don't know if they "know Jeeps" but I go to Firestone Auto Care off Calvine Rd. Just north of Elk Grove and get the "Life Time alignment" it's $190 but anytime you can take it in and get it rechecked for no extra charge. I get my dodge checked every 3000 miles.

I heard about the fire stone offer.  I wonder if they will include my hydro assist steering in it.

All about that fine print and how they interpret it:

"Most Vehicles. Subject to in-store equipment availability and employee qualifications to align vehicle. Stores may not be able to perform alignments on vehicles with steering/suspensions altered from manufacturer's specifications. Please call store to confirm if you have any questions."
