Default LCA and alignment

I'm getting new adjustable lca will I need an alignment after the install? Or do I need to do anything else?

If you make them the same length as stock, nothing will have changed. But assuming you will set them longer than stock to raise the caster, how will you know what the new caster is?

There is a DIY alignment writeup up in the writeups area (index at the top of the page) that shows one method of ball-parking the numbers. The folks at Dynatrac described a better way to measure, but I don't think it is hosted here. I'll post it if I find the thread I saw it in.

I have an 2 door auto with a 2.5 lift and I got the lca's really cheap so that's why I'm asking all these questions. Thanks guys
