Alignment with Bilstein's or Rancho's?
 
Hey everybody,
Do i need to get the front end aligned if i go with a 'shock only' lift or the front end?

Thanks!!

Im not exactly sure how you plan on achieving lift by shock... but i can tell you any time you change the ride height in the front, your alignment should be redone, whether you are lowering or raising.. always align for proper specs

the shocks have an adjustable spring perch up to 3 inches.

Yes you will definitly need an alignment if you lift, lower or alter front end. Had my local shop do the Autospring lift and Bilstein shock replacement followed by an alignment. It's 2 1/2 yrs. later and just replaced the tires with BFG 285-65-18's followed by you guessed it an alignment check. Found right front tie rod end starting to have some play.

Yes, you will need an alignment.
