Here is my dilemma any feedback would be appreciated. I am having autospring 2 or 2.5 leveling kit on this Friday on my 09 king ranch 4wd. I am ordering bfg all terrains 275 65 20 they won't be here for 10-14 days. I will be getting alignment done after level. Will I need to do alignment after installing the new tires too? Also any guys with autospring should I do 2 or 2.5?

I just installed my 2.5" level... my alignment is REALLY BAD.

Truck shakes like a bitch at 75 mph.... getting aligned tonight

Make sure and mark the locations of the lower control arm bolt before you remove it and you should be alright. Still get it aligned after you install it but it should be good enough to drive a little bit. Don't need it aligned again after you put new tires on.

Most tire shops DO recommend you get an alignment after new tires. Personally, I had my level kit installed 1 day before having tires installed. I had an alignment the day after the tires were on. I would try to get them as close together as possible and have the alignment done after both are on.

I went 2" and sit almost perfectly level.

No need for an alignment after tire install.

When I had the Rancho QuickLift installed on my '11, I drove it for over 8,000kms before I had an alignment done. Drove straight as an arrow, no weird tire wear patterns on the tires, no shaking or shimmying. After it was aligned I had to have it done again because they messed it up. Should have just left it.

i did a 2 inch motofab kit, no problems yet, alignment is booked at dealer for the 14th...the 2 inch kit for the front only did a great job at leveling it..
the driveway slopes abit, so it looks a little high in the front..

Aint that the truth....

you have to remove the control arm for a level on the newer trucks?

You have to disconnect the lower ball joint.
