    Yeah.
    I did the work myself and then took it in to the dealer to have it aligned. They said the camber took them a bit, but they got it in spec. You will need an alignment.

    I have done coilovers/struts a few times, so I had some experience. I have 2 sets of those crappy spring compressors and used both of them (4 total), and these springs are pretty dang strong. When I do it on my new truck, I may take them to a shop to have the springs moved over (and supervise, of course).
