| Post subject: | Time between alignments? |
Lift, tires, and alignment went on my KJ towards the end of September (about 850 miles ago). I know these new coils will sag to some extent over time, so I'm wondering how long I should wait before I take it in to get realigned?? If it makes any difference, I've taken it out wheelin' twice since the lift was installed, so it's seen some pretty good flexing. Thanks! |

If you have twisted it up pretty good and have used the suspension throughout its full cycle pretty much quite a bit then it should be started to be about where or time for a checkup. Has it dropped any at all yet? |

I get mine checked every 3K b/c its no charge at hibdon tires plus, and they guarantee it for 12K or 12 months, miles always hit first, so I have them fix it! I am going tomorrow, got 700miles on my lift already, well more like 800 and have retorqued twice for safe measure! |

I have aligned my KJ once and am at 119k miles now. The alignment happened when I lifted and that is about it. If I did it after every time I wheeled I would be doing it nearly every week. Always in the desert shooting, wheeling or caching. But that is me and there are a lot of people that swear by them. |

well I put on 700miles on my lift and took it in today and it was really out! So I am glad I have not put my new tires on yet. |

Thanks for all of the input everyone. My measurements don't reveal any noticeable sagging, but the alignment is guaranteed for 6 months or 6K so I'll probably get it checked out this weekend just to be safe. |

Might be worth getting a Firestone Lifetime Alignment for the guys/gals who get a couple a year. |

I had mine aligned in 6/2007 and it's never needed adjustment since; I probably have it checked once per year. |

I check every 5K when I rotate tires. I always buy the 5 year alignment plan from NTB. It is transferable to another vehicle as well if you happen to change rides. |
