honestly, you didn't really need to get an alignment as there wasn't a whole lot they could do other than recenter your steering wheel. but, as mentioned, check the torque setting on your bolts after about 100 miles of use and then enjoy

Did you install the BB yourself? If so how did the install go? Any suprises? I am thinking about that for my next project.

unless your lift came with adjustable rear upper control arms, your dealer won't be able anything other than to charge you for doing squat.

As you do the lift, the toe seems to get pulled inward on these, so the steering wheel maybe straight, but the toe-in will most likely be off.

I'm surprised nobody said the most obvious of all responses to the question...

I just got done this lift yesterday as well! The only thing I am thinking is an adjustable front track bar??? any suggestions, comments on this idea. Will it improve handling on a 2.5 inch lift or would it be a waste of money???? They give you the drop bracket for the rear, so I would assume that something for the front would be good as well, not sure why they didnt include a front bracket??? hmmm
