I have installed the 1.5" Readylift leveling kit, now do I need to get an alignment done?

 

My opinion is anytime you mess with the front suspension, get an alignment. Its not that expensive.

 

so you went with the readylift, but what type of truck do you have and what were your results? im thinking hard about leveling the front of my 07 NBS, but i want to make sure im getting the right product to do it the proper way. what was your experience with install and how did the install come out? do you have pics?

 

I have a 07 silverado 1500 ext cab.

I went with the readylift 1.5" because everywhere I read that lift was recommended for keeping the factory ride and didn't change the suspension drastically, the local's said the same because of ease of install and uninstall if you take them off to trade the truck in. I had my local garage put them on for $30, the said it is a peice of cake.

The lift is a spacer about 7/8" thick and it lifted the front 1 3/4", this kit makes it close to level, but not enough for me, It was still 1"+ higher in the back. I then took the factory blocks out from under the leafsprings in the rear and I love it it's within 3/8" from front to back. The factory blocks where the set on the axle are right at 1 1/4" thick.

I will try to take pics tommorow.

 

I used tough country from Schwab. My 07 NBS went from riding like a dream to being really stiff in the front. Looks great but the ride sucks.

 

yes get an alignment just as fireman said, when you mess with the front suspension get one done

 

Of course, I have had my truck leveled since 2007 and I took it to Les Schwab hours after the install for an alignment. They called and said it didn't need one and didn't charge me for it. Better safe than sorry. Alignment is perfect. Ride is not.
