    I'm going to install a 1/2" spacer up front to level my truck. Yeah yeah, I know, get some Bilsteins. I plan on it down the road but have dropped about $20k on landscaping and windows this summer so a full proper lift will wait.

    So all that said, do you think I'll need a front alignment afterwards?

    Yes, you always need an alignment if you do anything to your suspension. If you just added the spacer, your camber would be off and there would be uneven wear on your front tires

    Yes. You could get away without one for a couple days but you need one. Tire wear will be bad along with other issues
