Default Alignment?

If I am putting on new wheels, but keeping the same tires will I need an alignment?

In your case , I'd say yes. You've had so many probs I dunno what I could help you with. If you still have a prob after, gotta be the tires. You've pretty much covered everything else, hope this does it for you.

Normally, no, but it wouldn't hurt to know your toe and caster settings and an alignment shop can provide that so you'll at least know where you're at. Hope it works for ya. What is the backspacing of your new wheels? Are they different from your old?

I am running Pro Comp rock crawlers with 4.5 backspacing. I will be going to the Mopar steel wheels which have stock backspacing and are hubcentric.

Sorry , with all the probs Hellbound has had, I'd have to dissagree. Most of us can set out own toe and castor, I think he has aswell. He needs some proffesional help, his JK that is, uhh , maybe him too, I dunno. Just kiddin Hellbound, we're all on edge for u to find the problem. I think you've had more probs than anyone on here that has a highly modified JK, and yours is stock!
