Default Leveling kit

Do you have to get a front end alignment after getting the front level. I'm going with a 2.5 ready lift. Another thing is I'm in Washington, pa ( from Houston tx) and I can't find a tire shop to get the tires I want to save my life....I'm in a predicament.

Because washington, Pa is such an exciting place. I live north of there a little ways. What is so special about these tires you want that you cant find them?

It's nothing special about them. I wanted nitto trail grappler but I can't find anyone that will even order them. I guess I can't always go into Pittsburg.

09white-- I didn't move for good. I still have a house in the woodlands but I'm up here working.
Has anyone installed the 2.5 ready lift yet. I got an install price of 325.00. Sound good? Do I need anything for te rear?

O thats cool. And it depends how you want it, that might be a little higher in the front, but I like a little rake back to front, so if it were me (like I did lol) I would get an inch to two inch rear blocks. but its up to you lol

I'm going to see how the ready lift looks and if it sits front high I'll get some new blocks.

dont wait on how it looks measure it out the front end will not move up a full 2.5'' cuz the coilover will compress but the back end will probably get the full treatment cuz there isn't much weight back there

YES you most certainly do. And don't let anybody tell you other wise. I had a garage put mine on and he insisted that I did not need one. On my way home I noticed the wheel was just a tiny bit to the right, and my tires were SO LOUD I couldn't stand it. I drove right home and went to another garage and they told me that if I would have drove it like that much longer I would have wasted my $1,000 bucks I spent on those tires. So make sure to get it done.
