Allignment needed?

I plan on getting my truck alligned after the autospring install, but will I have to get it alligned again after I add bigger tires?

I have the stock Continental tires on the 17" wheels right now and will probably be going with the BFG ATs in a few months.

You shouldn't need an alignement after a tire upgrade. Just make sure they balance everything correctly. JP

Well....tried installing the autospring kit today and was not successful. Got everything off, put on the spacer, but then could not get it all back together again. Could not get the ball joint bolt back into the control arm after getting the strut back into place. What a frustrating day. Gonna call some shops tomorrow to see how much it would cost to get it installed by a pro.
