Default 2.5 BB installed, some question..

Just installed a 2.5BB ( RC ) on my 2 doors JK. I follow the guide line by line and the review from WOL too. As everyone said, I should have to adjust the draglink to re-center the steering wheel... BUT in my case, my steering was straight like before. no adj needed at all. 20miles later, no ESP light, Jeep was driving in straight line and nothing seem to be weird. drive like stock as far as I know...

Also.. I don't have "for now" adj CA's so do I have to get my JK to an alignment shop even if he seem to handle everything like before BB? Tire wear at long term example ?

Is it normal that the drag link is perfectly centered after a 2.5 BB installed ?

and FYI, no wheel spacers needed for now with my BB.. maybe at full flex but i'm not a serious offroader anyway so.. everything should be just fine. Just wondering about the alignment and the drag link ..


Need advice !

No alignment needed. I didn't have to center my steering either. Been driving it for about 40k miles and three plus years.

When I had an RC 2.5 BB I had to recenter the steering wheel. It wasn't far off--maybe 30 degrees, but it was off. When I replaced it with the TF 2.5 coil lift, I had to recenter it again.
