    I ordered everything I need to lift my truck (finally)

    I have Eibach pro-trucks and an icon AAL for the suspension/ride height. I also have an SPC UCA. I plan on installing the suspension myself, but don't want to do the leaf. If I install the suspension and UCA at my house, do I need an alignment while I wait for an appointment at a shop to put the leaf in? Or is it fine to wait until everything is in?

    Also if I do any sort of adjusting on the coilover after installing and getting an alignment, do I need to get another one?

    why hesitant on the leaf? It's no more difficult than the front, probably less so

    If you adjust the ride height, I'd personally get an alignment

    Not sure honestly, just doesn't look as easy. Maybe I'll look more into it.

    And what if I don't adjust the Eibachs (assuming they're stock height). I would be switching the tires and wheels though so that probably seals the alignment requirement.

    When installing a new coilover that is stock height along with a UCA, you should not be touching anything that would mess with the alignment (tie rods, LCA cam bolts) I would say you're good to go, it's relativity simple.

    Edit: I didn't read it was an SPC UCA, I would definitely get an alignment after installing

    I also should add that I have a sway bar relocator kit.

    SPC arms 100% change the alignment, you need to get it done right after. There is no factory setting.

    Installing leaves is easy from a technical stand point but if you are doing it solo it is a good workout lifting them into place.
    If you have the tools to do the front then you have all the tools needed to do the rear.
