Default need alignment help

ok so i lowered my truck with drop spindles yesterday, and now i can't find anybody that will do my alignment because my truck is too low. i was told that i need to find someone with an "alignment pit", does anyone know of a shop that has one in the 757 area or even VA, thanks

i have fit cars with 2" clearance at the lip with no problem. takes some time to get it on the lift...but it could be done.

The shop can use some pieces of wood and place it at the foot of the ramp. That gives it the extra clearance it needs. I have done that before, just have to take your time thats all.

i've thought about that, but i really don't think i have the ground clearance to even clear a boad, unless it is just barely angled upwards, but i would try.
