So after I did the lift i went and test drove it around my block. When I turn and hit a bump I hear my tires screech. Could this be caused because of the alignment being off? Before I installed it I was on a trail and I messed it up so I knew it was already off, but now I think it caused it more then it already was. Any ideas let me know. |

Yes you need an alignment , the toe is really off when you do one, and if it was already out some then don't drive too far before you get it done or the tires will start to feather |

Thanks tom. Good to know I was on the right track. I think I will drive it straight to the shop and drop it off on my way to work tomorrow. I was looking up prices and I'm thinking I should not pay more than 120. I seen it from 65-130. You think 5 miles is too far to drive to get there? |

you ALWAYS need an alignment after a lift. Period. Are you on tires you care about? then don't drive it more than 10 miles. |

Not really they are stock tires. I'm going to need bigger ones which I think I will get begging of next month. I just want to make sure I can make it with no problems. |

You will be fine going a few miles, it will just handle funky until its aligned. Also do not let them tell you they can not do ot, they just have to get it into specs and they can do it if they try. Some places do not want to mess with anything lifted. I could tell you how to set the toe to handle a little better but if you are taking it in then let them do it! |

Well I know the owner of the place and I talked to him he said whenever I needed it to go down. So I will call them tomorrow morning and see if he can do it if so I will drop it off. Thanks |
