OK, about 5k on my new springs and shocks since installation and alignment. I'm adding some tweaks this weekend and tires will be here tomorrow... most likely.

My question is should I align it after both these activities if I wait a few weeks for tire installation?

My thought is I get it (alignment) after the suspension adjustments, no need for one in a few weeks with the tires?

or

maybe its best to do it all tomorrow :D... IDK!

Bring me your wisdoms!

Tweaks- explain
if lifting it any at all you'll need to do another alignment
Plus you'll want it done before you install new tires, if its out and starts wearing the tires at all, they're done, you can't add rubber back on
So again if tweaks mean more lifting then do the tweaks and then drive some to settle it back in and realign

Boiler, Clevis and LTT (3 Stooges? ROFL) Should net me to about 22 all around

Brake Line relocation, Bumpstops (not sure how necessary they are with my lift)

Tires will arrive by fed ex tomorrow. 245\75\16 Guard Dogs on stock wheels...

So, if I can. Get it all done tomorrow, align. Then re-align in a few weeks?

What kind of lift you got? :?

never mind I remember
may end up a little over 22
we just did one with a 1/4 JBA top plate ( very nice) and a 1/8 inch clevis and one extra rear iso and its at 22

but yes after you add all of that a few miles should settle it back in good and then get an alignment
