Scheduled to have a 2.5" leveling kit installed on my '05 F150 Screw next week and was told by one tech. that I do not need to have the front end aligned afterwards and another said that I do. Both work for the same outfit.
Need input. Thanks!

 

One tech is not very bright. Keep your eye on him. You need an alignment.

 

You will definatly need a front end alignment.

 

I just did mine last Thursday and a few people told me the same thing including the place that did the wheel alignment. After the alignment the tech said he was wrong and it need it bad. (note) Before the alignment the truck still drove straight with no shaking at all. I think the truck rides better now then it did before.

 

You will definately need a front end alignment.

 

paid 48.00 for an alignment worth every penny

 

I put a 2" leveling kit on my truck and took it immediately to get aligned. Toe was way out of spec. Get the alignment done after your lift, you won't regret it.

 

Can you get a pic of before and after for me? I just got my truck and want to do it but can't really see much dif in the ones I seen pics of. Thanks

 

added a leveling kit back in oct. and never had it aligned. Yeah I know it may be stupid but the truck still drives fine and tracks straight. And with with about 10k miles since the lift the tire are wearing nice and even.
But for the little expense you probably need to have it done. I just never bothered because didn't seem that bad without one. I'll get to it one day!

I know...I know.... Alot of you reading this are thinking" what an idiot"
