Default alignment question

I just installed a Autospring 2" levelling kit. when I took the truck to the dealer for an alignment they said they couldn't just do a front wheel alignment and they charged me $100 to do a 4 wheel alignment. this seem strange to me. since its a solid rear axle is there even anything to adjust in the rear as far as alignment goes?

They charge you the same price as a car with independent rear suspension. I know it sucks but their alignment price is the same for all vehicles no matter what. They didn't do anything to the rear. I guarantee it. They onlydo the front and charge you the regular price. 100 bucks is a normal price for the dealer. Go to a tire shop and they will charge like 70-80 for an alignment.

That really is over charging. I just installed my Autospring 2" level and had an independent shop do the alignment for $60. All it needed was the toe settings adjusted.
