An alignment is recommended after installing spacers or even adjusting the ride height with the torsion bars:

It generally will, but if your front end was right on the edge of being able to be aligned before the lift, then the spacers might push you past that point. But in that case, you might just need to try another alignment shop, as they are not all created equal.

the alignment was spot on before, i still drives stright if i let go, its just the camber. the camber also makes it drive funky so it needs to be done, thnks for the help!

Question. you guy know if the specs on the alignment machine will be incorrect if I go from a 245/75R16 to a 265/75R16?
Thanx
