Ummm, no it will not. I have installed at least six 2+" lifts on Jeeps and none of them required an alignment. At most you may have to recenter your steering wheel. I wish I could give you a more intelligent argument, but mine is based on experience and what I have read on this forum. There are several threads on this forum that address alignment issues after lift. Many comments from more experienced people than myself (including Wayoflife stating you don't need one). Either way, I hope it works out for you.

Sorry someone shit in your cereal dude!

I've only owned something like 7 Jeeps and lifted 3 of them with spacers. They all needed it.....(two I verified by driving before the alignment)

So there ya go hot shot! Experience...

But at the same time, I'm not in disbelief of what you're telling me. If you haven't had problems, that's great.

For some reason you have felt this a personal attack on you. Not in the slightest. I was merely stating that an alignment is not necessary on the JK after a spacer lift. If you do a search, you will see several posts backing this statement. You stated as a matter of fact that you had to have an alignment done. Fine. If you want to spend the money on unecessary work on you Jeep, feel free. Let your experience speak for itself (although I am guessing your previous spacer lifts were not on the JK).

As far as the "hot shot" and "someone shit in your cereal" comments, well...don't be an ass. I was merely trying to help. Don't bother responding, my interest in your thread is done.
