A lot of guys don't even do an alignment and are fine. I will be doing an alignment myself when I do this but that is just because it's that time anyway, I don't know how long it's been since it had an alignment but I know I haven't done one since I bought it and that'sbeen 1 1/2 years.

Not sure about the tires, but I cant believe that 2" makes such a huge difference. I was really wanting to get the rancho 3" lift but why pay $1300 for 3" when I can pay $25 for 2" LOL

well it depends...if you want the lift for looks or bigger tires then do it the cheap way. but if you need more clearance for "off road" purposes or w/e then you need to shove out some dough
