Nice.. looks good. Does it need to go in for alignment or is it all set?

if you crank the t-bars the alignment NEEDS to be done or else you will destroy your front tires.

Ty sharp, I thought that would be the case. I better get the lifetime then,I gotta get it aligned after the front end work then again in spring when I do the lift....Is it the camber that get's knock out from cranking the t-bars?

i believe so, and make sur eyou tell th em to adjust it without touching the t-bars because proper procedure is to reset the front ride height before performing any other adjustments

Default Alignment issues?

Like this with Tuff Country 5.5". This is why I had to modify the lift adjustment block from 1" to 3" of in/out movement. You would think the company would remedy this on there own. Pic on 33/12.50/15 stock alignment maxed camber.

TY again sharps....I got lucky this morn....we have a small private alignment shop here,went over this morn and talked.I'm going to finish my cv shafts and install the last hub and bring it over. He's going to square it away for and said to come back after the t/s lift and he'll dial me back in no charge...he matched the price for lifetime alignment I got so I see this as awesome....Plus,right when I started asking about messing with the front ride height he cut me off and said no worries,I won't undo your lift to realigne it so I know he's done this before...really nice guy...
@lvphotos...after your mod,are you still able to adjust more if you needed to or did you do just enough to get it cambered at the current height? I gotta go re-read your thread on it

Yeah its the camber it throws off. I just did mine, taking it in for an alignment next week if possible. It will destroy the outside shoulder of the tires if you don't get it aligned.
