regardless of who put it in, imo your best bet will be to go to a Bodyshop with a frame machine(laser cause its quicker), and have them give you the print out to make sure the kmember placement is with in specs and hasnt moved so much that it wont allow for an alignment , if it has moved to much have them shim up the bolts and square up the kmember then have it aligned.
One of the reasons why goodyear might not have been able to align it was because it kept moving during the alignment process. And the banging you heard and felt was in the front correct almost like it was coming from the right under your feet?

"Alignment" in the case of a significant aftermarket suspension upgrade should not be left to the Nationwide sign above the place of business. In this day and age of in and out, the computerized setups can't account for a aftermarket system entirely. It takes a tech that has really been paying attention to what he/she has been actually doing and not just turning the wrench on the nut the computer tells him/her to turn on. The tech has to have a total grasp of how many different types of vehicles suspensions work in order to get this kind of job done. Goto your local tracks and ask around...names, businesses, will surface...the Yellowpages or Google will probably be hit and miss as you are looking for more than a shop that can provide entry level techs that can only follow instructions and not have enough experience to really "think" for themselves.
So much so, that I'm bumping this one for people to reread.
