Did you need an alignment after install?

I installed mine and then drove for about 500-600 miles to let everything settle out and then I had the alignment checked and sure enough it was out and needed.

Yes an alignment is required. You change the suspension geometry with a leveling kit and it will change your wheel camber which will cause premature tire wear and negative handeling characteristics if not corrected. This is not a symptom some get and some don't, this is a mechanical change that must be corrected.

Yes. Truck had never been aligned but I assume it was required due to new struts. Rancho recommendeds alignment. Most shops will check and only charge if alignment is required.

I thought I would so I brought it to my local Sears and the set it up on the alignment machine. The alignment was spot on and did not need adjustment. I would recommend that after you install the new Struts to get an alignment check. It is a lot cheaper than a set of new tires.

In my situation. No. But you can go to a tire store just to have them check it out. I may have gotten lucky.

I've had this on for a year without issue. Had one on a previous model too. You have to take your truck for alignment as soon as you install

Proper alignment is as important as having a good cartridge. Make sure you have a tool for doing so and take the time to get it just right. Other than that, you're good to go.

As others have said, it's easy. As usual don't overtighten. It's been a while since I put mine together but I recall using the wisdom of get them not-fully-tight all the way around first... make sure centered, aligned, equidistant all that, then tighten them perfectly in place. Once one side is tight, if it's crooked, you will have to loosen to straighten. Still easy. Very nice piece.

No. Check all your bolts and make sure they are tight. If you put used tires on make sure they are balanced. And make sure you get an alignment done after install on this kit

It comes with an alignment template. It's a piece of plastic you place in the screw holes and it allows you to correctly place the holes you have to drill.

Mine did not fit perfect...I had to "tweak" it a little to get the proper alignment for the fasteners.

Not at all. Some people say they needed new flat head screws. I used my existing ones.

I did. Two days after I installed it, I had to take it out and install a 1 by 2 around the opening on each side and screw it on. Now it works great!

Are you asking if you have to adjust the computer after installing this kit yes if you got after market pipes .. you will still run lean if all you do is install the breather kit but not enough to cause immediate damage but you need to do it asap

Yes. I also had to bore out the bolt holes to get the bolts to line up. Other than that, it was a fairly straight forward install.

No, I had to open up the rear holes with a die grinder to get them aligned for installation

It will not have any effect on your alignment. Installed on my truck and it drives prefect.

The top hole is oval (Don't remember if the bottom one is, as I installed them a few months ago), so an alignment will be needed after installation.

Yes I did. You can purchase a side mount fairly cheap Check to see the picture of the left side of the reciever. There should be tapped hole in the stock and a ridge line for the alignment guide. It should work

I am a computer dinosaur and afraid to install without the recommended alignment tool. Do you know where to get one from a reliable source that has reasonable pricing so I can buy your safe lock kit and install it properly? Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated.

Been a few months since I installed it, but I believe it's centered and keyed for alignment.
