anyone have an opinion?

im doing a 2in coil spacer install up front on my ttb until i get a bigger lift..i got warrioirs in the rear and an AAL..

so anyway..i have the coils, and i havnt had time to get them on..and in this time i've done some searching..and it sounds like a lot of alighment shops are not capable of bringin caster/camber into spec along with alignment...i fear the one i get to wont either..and thers one right down the road..i plan to install..and drive slowly about 4 miles on backroads to the shop..is this a terrible idea? ikno its a bad idea..but can i get away with it?..

i've heard gettin some 2.75 i believe is the numbner for 4x4 shims to bring it close to spec myself while im installing the coil spacers..i'd like to do this..sounds like the best bet..so is that a good idea?

if so i need to know wut and wher to get the correct camber adjustments..i also have no idea wher to start with installing them..so how do i go about doing that..thanks for any help

Prices you got me curious there. After searching a hear a different story from everybody, but I am putting the spacers on mine this weekend and hoping that I wont pay much at all for the alignment.

Just an fyi the link above doesn't represent a 1st gen explorer Camber bushing setup..

1st Gen dana 35 TTB. The camber alignment bushing is in red. You just need to remove the pinch bolt and clip on the ball joint. Then use some screwdrivers to evenly tap the bushing straight up and off.
