Default leveling kit/ wheels/ alingment

So im getting a 2.5" leveling kit put on at one place and the the new 33 inch tires and 18 wheels put on at a different place. Do I get the leveling kit put on first? Seems to make sense to me, then i can get and alingment after the new wheels get put on, but let me know your thoughts as im new to this.
Thanks

Doesnt really matter just dont drive around too long before getting an allignment. If you get the new tires first then have the allignment done along with the leveling kit.

Hmm. Most places around here give you a free alignment with new tires and wheels.................


Just saying...... If your place don't, I'd ask around and if you find a place that does give a free alignment with wheels and tires, I'd go there.........


(edit)But like said, the alignment goes last.... Other than that it doesn't matter aslong as you don't put like 10,000 miles on either before you get the alignment. So as long as you do the alignment soon, it doesn't matter.....

Yeah it really doesn't matter as long as you get that alignment done soon.

I actually did the leveling kit, wheels, tires and had the alignment done within 24 hours of each other..... but that is me I didn't want anything messed up by letting the alignment "go" for too long...
