Alignment bushings
Ok- installed 2.5" level. Got the typical ****ty alignment. I bought the bushings. My question is once installed do I need to align again or is it pretty much set.
Also, same question if I install the drop track bar bracket later. Need another alignment?

you don’t need an alignment after doing the bushings.
if they are a set degree, and you install them correctly, it is done. the caster can’t be adjusted.
if you do a track bar drop bracket, you will have to straighten your steering wheel by rotating the adjuster on the drag link. that has nothing to do with your alignment.
really the only thing adjustable on these trucks is the toe, unless you get adjustable caster/camber alignment bushings
