    I don't think I'd need to, but I just wanted to confirm... re-alignment after changing from 245/75R16's to 265/75R16's? It would only shift everything up, not change the geometry... right?

    Oh OK, I didn't think it would need it. But it's fine either way. Thanks.

    I'm not too familiar with the swapping of tire sizes, but I'm sure others could contribute more info on the matter. :eek: But to be on the safe side, I would. :)

    After I put a lift on, I went to get my alignment done. They told me I should wait for my new wheels and tires to come in before getting an alignment, because changing your tire size / height throws your alignment off.

    I would get it done to avoid unnecessary ware.

    OK cool, I'll wait to install my lift and change the tires so I can have it all done at once. Then I can have my Flowmaster installed too. All done in a day :)

    Thanks guys.
