Another Leveling kit?

I just had my leveling kit installed. My new wheels and tires won't be here for another week or so. Should I wait until I mount my new wheels and tires before I get the alignment done? Or do the alignment now?

Thanks,

the alignment won't be affected by the new rims/tires or if you do it now on your old ones


doesn't really matter honestly though. I drove a bit over 1,000 miles on my tires before getting the alignment. My tires had just started to show some wear/feathering at that point.


depends I guess if you want to visit the shop 2 different times or do it all in 1 swoop

Thanks.

I guess I'll go get the alignment. Then, when my wheels and tires arrive I can just install them myself.
