Default just installed 3inch liftt and got some wobble

I just put my lift on and i got some wobble, so I figured I would do a alignment so I called a couple of places and most said they would not do it. I called Sears and the guy told me I would be wasting my money, saying that it would not solve my problems because that would not cause shaking. That it had to be my tires that where not balanced, but those where balanced about a week ago..So I'm asking for suggestions any would be great.. Thanks

Move to a state that is more 'Lift' friendly, that would the shop issue.

As for the wobble; You trac bar may be loose and/or the steering parts. Put the front axle up on jack stands and ave someone turn the wheel from left to right. Look for anything moving before or after it should.

You can do a driveway alignment by measuring the distance from left to right tire on the front side and then on the back side. If anything you want the tires to point inward rather then out (toe in vs. toe out). Adjust as needed. Hope this helps.
