I just installed a 2.5" HBS leveling kit and went to my alignment shop to setup a appointment to get the truck aligned and the guy at the shop told me that in the past he has had trouble with the alignment of trucks with leveling kits. He said this was due to the lack of adjustment in the front end of the truck to align it properly. Has anyone experienced any issues with this???
I did the front 2.5" front leveling kit, and the rear 1" block. I took my truck to Les Shwab and they did the aligment no problem. They did say that the front right side was way off, but that it aligned just fine. I have only driven it for maybe 1k miles, but it does not pull or anything. Steers straight no problem. Hope this helps

Thanks for all the reply's, glad to hear no one has had any trouble with the alignment. Gives me some piece of mind knowing that they should not have any problems out of mine. Chavec would you mind posting a pic of your truck, I am curious to see one with the 1" block in the rear? Thanks again

Terrible advice. The dealership will know how to align the vehicle only if it is in the stock geometry. Once you take it out of the geometry all of the specifications have to be fixed to allow the suspension to fall into a proper setting. Otherwise you run the risk of the toe falling out/in and rubbing your tires into a coma.

Really cause I had mine do it for me when I got my lift put on. And it's all good. They still know how to put a front end back in line.
