Default leveling kit alignment issues

Put my Readylift leving kit on thursday and drove it around looks and feels good, hard to feel any change in ride quality and the alignment still felt ok but i wanted to get it checked any way. So I went to the local Firestone service center and waited to get an alignment 1,2,3,hrs later the said "we can't get it right, it may be because we only have the 2006 h3 specs not 07 " I don't see how much it could have changed from 06 to 07 but I left and now it pull slightly to the right more so on the highway. but need to get it fixed or looked at again. anybody have any thoughts that might be able to help me?

take it to a 4wheel drive shop, or back to the dealership. tire store alignments are, shall we say, less than what you're paying for. . . . .[:'(]

super easy to install. I called readylift for new alignment specs but the said that does not change it only needs to be put back to factory specs.

I got the TruXXX 3 inch leveling kit and they supplied me with new alignment specs.

Neither NTB not the Hummer dealer were able to make the alignment work when they did it at factory specs. The wheels resembled an upper case A. I gave them the alignment specs provided by TruXXX. When they used these specs it worked out perfectly.

The dealer did use the fact that I installed aftermarket keys to charge me for the alignment.

These are the specs provided for my kit they may work with yours as well.

Ride height is 24.25" from the center of the front axle to the fender.

Caster Left: 1.5
Caster Right: 2.0
Camber Left: 0
Camber Right: -1/4
Toe-in: -1/32

Hope this helps.
