Do I have to go take it into the shop to get an alignment?

Thanks

Matt

 

i think for a 2.5 lift you dont have too...
i didnt anyway

 

An alignment is always good when messing with suspension

 

don't need to....I didn't and mine drives fine !

 

... which isn't affected by a lift. And the steering wheel centering, which needs to be adjusted or the ESP will get cranky. But, easy to do oneself--no need to pay a shop $80 or so to do five minutes worth of work ...

^^^what he said x2....

 

Thank You guys

 

After doing my 2.5 in lift, I threw it on the rack to see.. with 7000 miles. it was toed-in .60in which is more than a 1/2 in of toe in. would've worn the outside edges of the tires eventually. Now maybe the alignment was off, but I doubt it as it hadn't seen any dirt use at that point in it's life. It has definitely seen dirt now!
