Telling them would most likely help. It gives the shop an indication that you "know what you want".

Drop brackets for a 2" lift??? I doubt you need them and I find that hard to believe... but if you do need them, look for a set of factory STX drop brackets. Those will give you the correct ammount of drop. Maybe someone else can drop a line in here and help this feller out a bit.

o man i dunno what to do now lol.
try another shop.check all vendors in your area,see if they have a website and phone number.kaufman tire advertises wheel alignment on modified suspensions at $99.i used 2"spacers and have the same issue,and knew i would.i haven't called em yet as i have to get the money,but im sure new camber bushings are not included in price.good luck and remember,if at first you don't suceed-be a ruthless bastard and wear them down.

I agree, you shouldn't need brackets for only two inches of lift. I put 2" coilspacers under my front springs and my alignment guy was able to pull it in using my original camber bushings (They were replaced once already, but before I bought the truck, I got lucky!) So yeah, like other people said, make sure the place you take it is familiar with the ttb suspension. Clearly they are not if they can't get it to align with only 2" of lift.
