Default Alignment with RC level

Just wondering how many have run their 2016 F150 with RC level kit without an alignment? Or if you got one if it was even far off.

You will need an alignment. Toe will be off. It will eat your tires.

In the long run not getting one will cost more than the $100 cost of getting one.

I got an alignment after my level - it wasn't "far" off but it does not take being very far off to chew up a set of tires in a hurry.

It messes with the toe angle as 19ontheice said - so if you don't mind chewing up your tires then it's not necessary. Otherwise you need it.

And around here an alignment is only like $60 or $70...

Alright makes sense. I got the leveling kit for Christmas. I probably wait a bit to put it on then. Thanks

Got mine aligned at the dealer for $70 right after installing my 2" level. Worth it to have it checked and corrected.
