Alignment question?
Okay fellas, here's the deal. I have a 2004 FX4 with the stock 18" wheels and tires. I'm going to install the autospring 2" spacer to level the truck. I know I will need an alignment but here is my question. In the very near future I will be upgrading my wheels and tires. I'm going to stick with aftermarket 18" wheels but stick some 325/60/18 nitto terra grapplers on them which is a little bigger than the stock tires. Would it be okay if I install the spacers now and get the truck aligned with the stock wheels and tires or should I wait and do everything at once? I'm anxious to install the spacers now and do the alignment but if I will have to realign the truck with the bigger tires I will wait. The nittos aren't that much bigger but I'm not an expert when it comes to alignments. Any expert advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I honestly don't know for sure if they would throw off the alignment or not(probably not). I got mine aligned at Firestone and got their "lifetime alignment" . I paid (I think) $140, but can get alignment any time I want at no cost.Something to consider, especially if your not going to put the new tires on for a while.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm going to install the spacer and get the truck aligned with the stock wheels and tires. I don't think a realignment will be necessary with the new tires. Thanks!
