torsion bar lift

im thinking of doing the torsion bar lift on my 2000 f150 4x4 7700, my (dumb) question is people say after doing this lift you need to get an alignment done. what kind of alignment? tire? damn i feel retarded.

thanks

Anytime you adjust the torsion bars the front end has to be realigned. Usually the toe is out of specs.

Get a front end alignment done. Anytime you mess with your suspension it is always recommended. It should run you $40-$60 at any shop...
