    Hey everyone,

    Been looking through the forums and havent come across one with this answer (at least in the title). Quick question as Im installing a 6112/5100 setup on my tacoma. Since I'm lifting Im getting a post lift alignment, but has anyone had to do a second alignment post spring settle? I know the 6112 spring settle for some has been pretty significant so I was wondering if anyone has noticed any alignment issues post settle (uneven tire wear, steering pull L/R, etc)?

    **Installing with 600lb spring.

    Thanks,
    NB

    I think the best most generic answer would be to rotate tires like normal and if you notice strange wear or driving characteristics after the springs settle then maybe check alignment. But in general it's probably not something you need to worry about much if at all.
