Default leveling issues

I put 2 in coil spacers on my truck and went to get an alignment and they tell me they can't do the alignment even though I have the camber kit on there already.... apparently the 2 in spacers are too much lift.... is there anyway around this or do I just need to dump the "Cheap route"... thanks

Just use F250 springs, super easy, fairly cheap.

Go to a different shop. You can most certainly get camber adjusted with the spacers in there.

Yep take it somewhere else for sure.

Then take the spec sheet with your new perfect alignment to the old place to show them, haha

Alright the guy is telling me they adjusted it as much as they could and now he is saying I'd have to drop the I beam pivot point or some crap like that... I just don't want to ruin my damn MTs...

Yeah im stock i guess youd say.. my dumb *** forgot to mention i put leveling coils on it awhile back and then put the spacers on in there and now i have added a combo of about 3" to 4" of lift to the front end without changing anything else... no bueno... eff it im getting a 6in lift... i know its probably on this forum already but im fed up and dont really want to search for it... whats the best brand of 6in lift? and would rough country be considered a good route or is that a bad decision too?

Bought a R/C lift for my son's Ranger. No complaints whatsoever. He's had it on there for about 2 1/2 yrs now
