Diff drop - do I need an alignment?

I have a 2023 tundr SR5 trd sport. It has the air bags that self level which I really enjoy. That being said, the guy that I purchased this truck from had installed a westcott level kit, and I don’t think he installed the westcott lever arms for the air bags as I have a slight ‘squat’ at ‘level’ height.

here’s what my current plan is, I ordered a 3.5” lift from rough country that has the air bag spacers, sway bar relocation bracket, etc. My question is if I just install the diff drop and air bag spacers, do I need an alignment? I was going to replace the westcott pucks in the current shocks at a later date with true shocks for the lift I want. But tbh I don’t want to do a double alignment.

also if I put the airbags on “high” mode it sits about an inch too tall. But the airbags go back to normal once you pass 18mph. I dont know a way around it.

TIA for the insight!

 

The diff drop isn't the question...the 3.5" lift requires an alignment. You also will need the silver CV axles for a 3.5" lift that are typically included in the Toyota OEM 3" lift kit if you don't already have them. If you just bought the spacer and not a kit that includes UCA's you'll need aftermarket UCA's as well. If you already have a 3" lift from westcott maybe you already have UCA and different CV axles?? who knows.

 

OH and the admins will move this post to the suspension section shortly I'm sure of it.

 

I understand it will when the shocks are out in. I was just curious if I basically did the diff drop and rear air bag spacers if I’d need an alignment.

I chatted with RC support about the axles to. They say this kit is good to run on black axles
