I haven't had much luck with alignments and TIB suspension, maybe because the 2-piece bushings confuse the techs, even when I go to a truck specialist and leave the instruction sheet and charts out for them, but that's generally been my experience with mechanics in general. Most recently, I had a brake hose leak when my tools were in storage so I brought it to a shop with a lot of Rangers out front thinking they'd do well but found they tried to used hose clamps to secure the hoses instead of the clips.
Tired of that, I bought a DIY alignment setup for after being run off the road by UPS and it's pretty easy to use, far better than past attempts at stringing, the downfall being that it only measures total toe and it doesn't fix boogered tie rods either. Maybe after getting new ones I'll try a another shop, but I'm definitely going to see what I can do first.
