u actually put it back on? 
no matter what u do from this point, u definitely need an alignment either way. just bring some 2x6 boards with u if u have the coilovers on.

It doesn't matter if I have boards or not. The car can make it up the ramp, but once it's up there it bottoms out on the crossmembers of the hydraulic lift.
Anyway, I ended up driving to Chalmette to get the alignment. The Firestone in Chalmette is the only one around here that will accommodate a car that is as low as mine (and mine isn't even really that low). They are a new shop and have the newest life. We had no problem.
I highly recommend the Chalmette location. The guys there were very nice and helpful. No bullshit, unlike other places I have used. Ask for John. He is their highest level tech and he knows his stuff. We weren't able to dial in my exact specs, but he was damn close. He spent the time to get everything where it needed to be, then he made sure that it was even on both sides. He took the time to show me what adjustments he was making and what I could do to gain more adjustability in the future. Lifetime alignment FTW!

No I was just joking with Mike.

I have had the same guy align my car the last 2 times it has been aligned. He nails the alignment (to my spec) and lets me sit in the car.
His company allows him to do it on the side using their machine. I know he has been with the same company for at least 3 years. I trust him. $50
PM me for his name and contact info.
