Can anybody recommended a shop for alignment in the Pittsburgh area - South Hills are would be great. Slightly modified JK. Called one or two places but they said they couldn't because of 2" lift. Thanks

I know you said South Hills, but in North Hills there is Flynn Tire that did mine recently.
Flynn's Tire & Auto Service | Where the advertised price is the entire price!
I've talked to the owner before and he has jeeps and works on them himself so I liked that. Lifts and tires don't matter to them either
Also A&M family tire in the North Hills would be good to look at

Thanks for the info. There's a Flynn's near me but didn't think to call them. I just wanted to get it checked out after a recent wheeling trip and 2" lift. Everything seems pretty much fine but occasionally when changing lanes or turning especially at higher speeds it feels a little loose or unsure. Steering wheel seems centered but there is a little play left and right from center before tires start to turn (maybe normal). Bent my stabilizer (replaced) and scrapped the tie rod some while wheeling - took some good hits, etc and was thinking an alignment might be a good idea.

I had that same play on my Jeep ( 2.5" AEV lift ) until I installed the AEV geometry correction brackets. It took the play right out of it and it like it did before the lift.

I had that "loose" steering for a while before I decided to check it out. I had a missing nut on my trac bar and my tie rod end on my drag link was shot. May just want to check out your tie rod ends to see if they're still good, helped me out a bit

Your toe spec may be out if your tie rod is bent, but you can adjust that in 5-10 minutes with a measuring tape, a helper, a vice grips, a wrench, a pair of jack stands, and a floor jack.

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear NTB in Greentree is good. Had my tires mounted there and might have them check balance.
