lift and alignment

Hey everyone happy thanksgiving.
I got a dobinsons lift it a couple months ago and I haven't had time to install it. Well now I have a 3 day weekend. My plan was to install the front strut assembly, UCA and do the rear shocks my self and then have a shop install the rear leafs and do an alignment at a later date. Is it okay to drive a bit before getting a alignment done. It could take a couple days for me to get in somewhere I trust. I don't drive much maybe 10 miles a day.

 

Me personally I would align it immediately after. Mine was way off when I did my lift. I scheduled my alignment because shops were backed up, and then timed my lift install based on that.

 

I have a Dobinsons set up too, the 778 springs. I had it aligned 2 times in 3 weeks. It gradually went from 26” hub to fender, to 25” (as it sits now) hub to fender. Just food for thought.

 

You need to align the truck right after you do the lift install or you will damage the tires.

 

Could you post the alignment specs?

 

im not too sure i have them anymore, i recently moved and the wife threw a ton of stuff i had saved for the truck away..she considered it “trash”.

 

Not only is it bad for your tires to drive before it is aligned; but it is also dangerous as your steering will be unpredictable.

 

Just an update got everything installed and just got it back from getting the alignment done. This is where everything was set at.
I have a very slight pull to the right
