Need alignment after V codes?
Silly question, but can't get it through my head. Do I need to get the front end re-aligned after installing V codes on the front?
Thanks

Really? I would think that you would want to any time you messed with the suspension and ride height.

I agree with Stewart,
I had mine put on alignment rack after V-codes, no changes.

nope, on a straight axle its not really an issue. IFS touching ride height you should allways get it checked.

Thank you. I kept mulling it over in my head trying to figure out if it impacted geometry or not. I was suffering from analysis paralysis
