    Received my lift kit and planning on installing soon. Bilstein 6112/5160 with Icon 3 leaf AAL.

    Have a few hours this weekend and was thinking of doing the front coilovers only due to time constraints. Don’t want to risk taking apart the rear and running out of time. Would it be bad to leave it like that for a week other than the bro lean? Planning on doing the rears next weekend.

    Perfectly fine to do, but as mentioned, you'll have a bit of a lean going on. Don't neglect the need for an alignment after the front lift is installed though :fistbump:

    No evidence will be left behind of any bro lean.

    Alignment is definitely in the works. I know ASAP is best, but is there a window of time that’s considered acceptable before getting one?

    I'd wait until the rear is lifted, as it could throw off your caster. A week or two shouldn't be a big deal.

    That depends: drive 5 miles a day, who even needs an alignment. But you drive 100 miles a day, and your tires won't be happy. Lol.

    Really no right answer, just the sooner the better. As mentioned, not a bad idea to wait until after the rear is done.
