    Hello there, I just installed a set of Bilstein 5100, giving me about a 1.75 inch lift in front and 1.5 in back. The truck drives fine but I've read that after the lift you need to align the tires. If the truck drives fine, do I still need an alignment? Your thought are appreciated.

    Yep, not an option. I’ve heard it’s worth driving it for a few hundred mile after installation to let everything settle. Also gives you a chance to correct any intall mistakes/issues before paying for the alignment.
