Wheel Alignment Shop in OC (South Bay?)

I just installed a Donahoe Racing 2 1/2" leveling kit on my 2006 F350 SD, CC. I went up to have the front end aligned and was told my truck wouldn't fit up on their rack. (I have SRW/Long Bed). I went to a Firestone shop hoping I could get a Lifetime alignment contract. I drove by a Goodyear shop and it was too long for their racks. I called Sears and they told me to bring it down and they'll take a look. Can anyone recommend a REPUTABLE shop that will do an alignment for me? I live in Anaheim, CA but work in El Segundo so I'm sure there is a shop between here and there. I would like to get a lifetime warranty, but will settle for a reputable shop I can rely on. Thanks!

Are there any Les Schwab tire stores near you? I had mine done there and they did an excellent job. They have shops in Northern California and Nevada. Don't know about your area.

I would not recommend sears--I just took one of my trucks in there
(just had U+L balljoints and tracbar) and when i picked it up they charged me
$65.- and told me only toe was adjustable on the truck-which was already right on.
Now Im no mechanic or alignment guru--but I know for a fact that caster and
camber are adjustable -and further more where and how to adjust them. I told them
this info-and they told me those adjustments dont do anything and then they refused
to refund my money. arghh!!\
better luck to you
