the only problem I had was cutting and removing the rivet's that held the front hangers on rear springs, now that was a bitch. as the seven " drop in the rear. before I lowered it the tail gate came to to my upper chest and I'm 6'2".I sure like the slight fordward look now.

As far as wheel alignment , I had it checked and the only change was correcting the toe and and leveling the steering wheel back up. I have a 17' bass boat I pull and so far have not had any problems other than having to turn my hitch upside down to raise the trailer coupler to keep it from draging in my drive way. Oh! yes my wife thinks it looks silly, but who cares.
