    If you aren't having obvious wear issues or vibrations- I'd wait cause you'll want to have an alignment done after the rear lift...So why do it twice (unless you have a lifetime alignment deal...)

    How do they align the rear? I just thought 4 wheel alignment is needed if you have struts or coils? Since the rear is leaf pack....

    They won't necessarily align the rear- but lifting the front can play with the front end alignment.

    Depending on the place that does your alignments they may look at the rear if you ask...My alignment guy mentioned that I was .4 out after I installed my AAL....We took a BFH and got it to .01 or .02.
