alignment? is it possible to do myself?

i know im cheap but i will be installing a readylift on my 5 lug and i was wondering if theres a way i can alingn it myself it dosnt have to be perfect im replacing tires n e way just wanna lift it for now plus i hear when you get new wheels you need to alingn as well and i dont really want to pay fof two alingnments please help me out

 

Why not just wait for the lift and tires, install them the same time and only get one alignment done?

 

you can do the string and tape measure alignment...comes out pretty close

If that's the same thing I'm thinking of.... That's only for TOE adjustment


You still need to check/allign camber & caster.

 

u dont need another alignment 4 new wheels and tires.

 

Correct, you need an angle gauge and a very level surface to adjust the camber. And with the way the camber is adjusted in these trucks I'm willing to bet that if you have to ask if it is possible to do this yourself then it might be a little out of your skill level to try to make those adjustments.
