Default Assuming I Need Allignment

Hey guys so I just went ahead and upgraded from 30 inch tires and 18 rims to 33 and 20 with -44 offset. Also got a 2.5 front level.

The new tires are mud tires and before they were RT, and I love the look and feel except when on the highway because I pull like a mf haha.

I'm going to assume I need an allignment, curious if anyone else did something similar and the allignment fixed the pulling?

Any time you change the geometry of the suspension (IE the level) you'll need an alignment... that's the first place I'd go (like yesterday). You'll mow right through your new MT's in no time if you don't

Yes! I just did a 2 1/2 level a few weeks ago. As soon as I was done I drove to get an alignment. Didn't think I needed it, I was wrong!!!! You deff. Need it unless you want to keep purchasing new tires. LOL
