Hey, so this is probably a dumb question but I am installing my "lift" this weekend that consists of JBA top plates, a .5" clevis shim, and two extra rear upper isolators (3 total per side). my question is, do I need A four wheel alignment or just a front end alignment once I am finished with this mod? I've never worked on anything that was coil sprung in the rear before, only leaf sprung, and I never had to have a 4 wheel alignment, so I thought I'd check to make sure. Thanks!

Hmm so when I done my full spring lift I only get the front end aligned? That doesn't seem right in my logic

There is nothing adjustable on the back end. If it's out of tolerance you got something bent!

There is no such thing as a front end alignment.There is only a 4 wheel alignment regardless is there is any adjustment in the rear or not.The front toe is set based on the rear toe(adjustable or not) so your not dog tracking.

Beat me to it. Well said.

No need to worry about the rear or the terminology really, get it on and get an alignment!

I only purchase lifetime alignments, but that is because I have it realigned at least twice a year.

Thanks for the info guys. I had a shop tell me it was $59.99 for a front end alignment and $69.99 for a rear end alignment... I guess I won't be going there for any kind of alignment knowing what I know now :|

In any event, I've got all this fun stuff to put on tomorrow morning :D
