The Mitsubishi Pajero Owners Club®

Last year I had the Old Man Emu EK3407A1 suspension lift kit installed on my Mitsubishi Pajero NM(2000-2003) LWB. When installed, the dealer carried out the wheel alignment on all four wheels which was great. This dealer is over 100k away from where I live and have found a wheel alignment garage near me that has necessary equipment to carry out professional wheel alignment but says that with lift kit parameters might be different. He advised I contact manufacturer to obtain alignment parameters for this specific lift kit for my car. Which I have but yet to get a response.
Alignment is way-off after numerous off-roading adventures and tires are being destroyed because of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks

Got a reply from ARB Europe and they have come out with a reply that it was due to a pre-existing condition of the car (which it wasn't).  What I have said is that the alignment parameters change due to this lift kit therefore any garage doing alignments will use factory settings which do not work with the lift kit and will in no time destroy your tires and makes the car unsafe to drive.  I further stated that if they know this is an issue with Pajeros, they should at least warn or advise customers before they purchase as they are then left with this problem.  I also suggested that if they sell these lift kits specifically for Pajeros, they should have by now, tried to find appropriate alignment settings/parameters to aleviate this problem as they claim it is normal with Pajeros ( a bit of customer care).
I would seriously advise all Pajero owners to consider this problem before purchasing any lift kit for their 4x4 as all I have been told is that some 4x4 garages carry out the alignment for Pajeros with lift kits through a trial and error basis that can take up several hours.
