    After installing lift spindles, do you need to redo alignment?

    My understanding is that lift spindles move the wheel/ hub assembly straight down in a vertical line, and with my limited knowledge of suspension I don't see how that would affect alignment.
    (Unlike adjusting coilover preload or spacers which move in a more radial path.)

    Am I correct?

    If there's another thread I didn't find, link it pls!

    ...too much shit to list.
    You will need an alignment.
    The spindle isn't in a strait line, it's angled. You also swap tie rods bottom to top. It may be close, but you won't be aligned.
