Default getting alignment today, tire question?

I start my new job Mon at the chevy dealership as a service tech and I want to remove the 2" lift spacers from the front of my truck today and have it realigned. Then Im thinking about dropping from a 33" tire to a 31" in the next couple of days. Will that tire size change be enough to throw my alignment back out?

Tire size change shouldn't matter, but, pulling the spacers certainly will.

Also, working at a chevy dealer will make your truck unhappy as well.


Why are you dropping it down and going to smaller tires right after you got done lifting it?

I had my first experience with DW last month(very scary). I replaced the steering stabilizer that seemed good and have not had the DW again.

Yes. I would not have bought the truck otherwise.

I wasnt experiencing death wobble. My control arms were making contact with my spindles. I will post a pic later. I did not get them removed or aligned today but I did get 4 new Nexen Rodian AT2's installed in the 31" variety. The ride is already so much so much smoother and quite.
