Good Alignment place in DFW area after lift

]Hey guy's I recently installed the Icon Stage 2 on my ride and went with the Nitto Trail 285/70/17's. I took to an alignment shop and short story they drove my brand new 2016 TEP into a metal trash can and caused 2k in damages. The alignment was done at a place that was recommended by the people who did the lift, Sundays Alignment and Wrecker Service. I don't recommend them due to the fact they wrecked it. I'm picking the old girl up Friday from the body shop and am having the FN 17x8 wheels put on Saturday and wanted to take it to a shop for an alignment. I didn't receive a sheet when listing the specs of the camber, Caster, Toe ETC. If I take it to get aligned what #'s should I be hoping for? Will NTB be able to adjust it to the correct specs? It doesn't really pull but when driving 70+ it is a pail when hitting bumps or changing lanes as it seems to lurch in the direction I'm turning.
From what I am reading 4 is the ideal for Caster settings but I was wondering about Camber and Toe settings.

Thanks in advance!

Camber and toe settings should be as per the FSM. +4 caster will make it more stable on the highway, but unless you changed to aftermarket UCA's when you installed the lift, it's unlikely the alignment shop will be able to achieve that. Assuming a 2.5 to 3 inch lift, you'll be lucky if you can get better than +3 on caster with the OEM UCA's. Basically, tell them you want as much caster as they can get, up to a max of +4.
 
I have found this for toe and caster and camber

Standard Toe
Trail Edition A + B: 0 °5 ' +/-0 °10 ' (0 .0 8 ° +/-0 .1 6 °)
C - D : 2 .1 1 +/-2 mm (0 .0 8 +/-0 .0 8 in.)

Caster
Trail Edition 3 °16 ' +/-4 5 ' (3 .2 7 ° +/-0 .7 5 °) 4 5 ' (0.7 5 °) or less

Camber
Trail Edition -0 °3' +/-4 5 ' (-0 .0 5 ° +/-0 .7 5 °) 4 5 ' (0.7 5 °) or less
