Like the subject line says; do you need an alignment after installing spacers? Asking for a friend.

See build link

I've seen where people get by without one and others have to do it. Better to be safe and get one. Otherwise you could be out the cost of tires.

When you push the suspension down the top of the spindle is moved forward which lessens caster which is why many people go ahead and upgrade their UCAs. Especially in lifts greater than a leveling kit.
