2 or 4 wheel alignment after leveling

I know this question has been asked before, but I cant find it. Is it worth $20 extra for the 4 wheel alignment opposed to 2 wheel, even though the rear has no adjustment (although the rear can be used to better align the whole truck)??

I would say go for it. 20 bucks is nothing, and it gives you the piece of mind that all 4 wheels are aligned. You never know, changing the front may have affected the rear. It would be worth it in tire/gas/time savings if you find that it was off a little bit.
That is just my 2 cents,
MK

alignment after levelling

Hi, took my S.cab. in for a alignment check as found it was pulling to the right after 2" Revtek levelling kit installation. Turns out that the dealer not only did a "toe in toe out " align. but Castor/Camber as well as Tracking alignment. They said everything was out. Much better now.

I had mine aligned after installing the 2" Autospring. I didn't notice any problems with the ride, but they did adjust the front. They gave me the before & after computer alignment printouts. All 4 wheels were checked, but the back ones were already perfect. I think the leveling kits affect only the front. If money is tight, save the $20, but if it's worth the piece of mind, go for it.
