I put a spacer lift on my 250 over the weekend and then took it to a tire place (chain store, but I've been happy with their work for a while) Monday to get it aligned.
First they said they would need to calibrate cameras/sensors along with the physical alignment and that they might not be able to because it's so new.
Once they got the Cruiser on the rack and tried, they came back and said it wouldn't work.
They also couldn't just do the physical alignment because of liability if the sensors were out of calibration and could cause problems. I asked if they could just do a check to tell me how far out the front end was and they said their system didn't have specs for the 250.
They said I'd have to go to the dealer for now, and that they usually get an update around mid-year with new model specs.
I know this shop and everyone else around here is using the same Hunter system, so I don't have much hope of another place doing better, but I'm sure everyone else here with a lift has also gotten an alignment.
I also know I (or they) could have looked up specs since I know I've seen them online, but I didn't think to push for that at the time.
What was your experience with alignments after your lifts?
For reference, I went 2" in front and 1" in rear, so there's still about 1/2" rake, not quite level.
