My question to all those who really tear it up,how do you guys keep it aligned or you just dont bother anymore?The thing is tires are expensive and so is alignment,is there something out there that can be bought to keep the alignment strait?

I don't tear it up that much, but just tighten the tie rods yourself, eventually it will be way outta whack, so get it done every now and then.

my 2 cents.

Alignment doesn't get much easier than on a Jeep.

I check mine at every oil change. I do wheel mine alot, and checking the alignment is an easy way to spot potential issues.

If you want to keep your alignment straight longer. Return your rig to stock and STAY on the street.
