They should be able to handle it. Take it to a good shop, I don't recommend Tire Kingdom (If they are in your area). They did a terrible job on mine and wanted me to pay them to do it again. Always ask if they have done altered suspensions before.

I told them it was roughly 4.5 inches of lift and the guy said he has a good front end guy and he'd be able to handle it so i trust them, just wanted to make sure. Never heard of Tire Kingdom, sounds cheapy haha, I take my stuff to "family owned" Auto Pro

Why not do it your self. Most shop will only set the toe. It is a easy job. http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoAlignment.htm
