Default Alignment ?

I just installed a 4" RC lift on my JK. Im not getting my tires for another week, but since I drive my jeep everyday to work, Im wondering if itll hurt getting the alignment done before the tires go on. Or should I just wait for the tires to be on??? Ill be puuting on spacers with my stock wheels too. I dont know if that matters???

I just installed my drag link flip kit and got an alignment at sears. after everything was done, i mentioned that i was going to replace the rear control arms within a month. he said that as long as i bring it in within 6 months, they will adjust the alignment under warranty. that said, why not get one done now, and go back once you get your tires.

oh dam I never thought about that. Thats right. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay to have yours done. Everywhere Im calling charges more bc the suspension is modified

Depending on where you have your tires installed, they may include an alignment. My local shop does an alignment when they put on the tires and have you come back within 6 months for a free check.
