i did my downeys and bils just a bit ago...is it necessary to get an allignment after this ? havent noticed any pulling or drifting or anything...figured id put it out there for you guys...thanks for the input

 

a good rule of thumb is to always to do your alignment after you do any suspension work you might not notice any significant changes but all it takes is a small change and you'll definitely see some unusual wear on your tires.

 

Did you crank your tbars at all? If so then yes you should get it re-aligned. If you didn't crank them then maybe, maybe not. The bilsteins are high pressure shocks which may have lifted the front slightly, and if they did, then yes you should get it aligned. If you don't get it aligned, then watch the tires to see if they wear funny.

I didn't get mine aligned, but I am using rancho shocks which are not high pressure.

 

I didn't get mine aligned and after 6000 miles no probs with my BF's. I didn't crank my Tbars just installed the Bils.

 

no t bar adjustments...after the coils and bils it is perfectly level...thanks for the advice...i think ill wait a bit and just check the tire wear for anything funky...

I'd go ahead and do it- might as well swap out the steering stabilizer too since you upgraded the shocks. OME is an awesome unit to go with.

 

is there really that much of a better feel with the OME stabilizer over stock...?? my stock still feels solid and isnt leaking or anything...

 

I noticed a big differnce with mine but mine was leaking and I'm thinking wasn't in very good shape.

 

Mine was totally blown out and I didn't even know it until we pulled it off (most 4x4 2nd gens are blown according to posts) . The OME unit is 3X bigger than the stock unit and is a huge improvement over stock. You won't notice much difference on the highway (unless you change lanes fast) but offraod it eliminates steering sway over bumps and dips . A great cheap mod to do under $100.
